Economic guru Ray Dalio advises savvy investors that the seemingly endless Trump bull-run stock-market rally is only seeing more red and will continue to charge deeper into record territory.
The Bridgewater Associates founder predicts the Trump tax cut could lead to some big gains for the U.S. stock market.
"We are in this Goldilocks period right now. Inflation isn't a problem. Growth is good, everything is pretty good with a big jolt of stimulation coming from changes in tax laws," Dalio told CNBC.
Dalio predicts we will see "a market blow-off" rally, fueled by cash from banks, corporations and investors.
"There is a lot of cash on the sidelines. ... We're going to be inundated with cash," he said. "If you're holding cash, you're going to feel pretty stupid."
