We recently published a list of Billionaire Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater’s 10 Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential. In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against other billionaire Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater’s stock picks with huge upside potential.

Up until February 18, 2025, the stock market seemed poised to replicate the 2020-2022 bull run. Save for slight corrections in April and August of 2024, the market was in a general upside trend. And investors expected the trend to intensify, thanks to the Trump effect. But before President Trump’s re-election, some voices, including that of Ray Dalio, pointed out the potential risks of this presidency to the market.

Ray Dalio established Bridgewater Associates in 1975. But as of 2025, the billionaire investor isn’t part of the hedge fund’s key management. He currently acts as co-chief investment officer (CIO) mentor and member of the Bridgewater Board. Dalio also runs his family office, the Dalio Family Office, which manages over $15 billion in assets. He also does philanthropy work and he hasn’t stepped away from sharing his economic and investment insights through books, interviews, and social media.

Bridgewater has grown to become the largest and most renowned investment firm in the world. Over the past 10 years, the fund has returned 39.40%, and 17.30% over the past 12 months. However, just like Dalio predicted, the Trump administration’s policies could jeopardize Bridgewater’s ability to reward investors.

Since taking office for the second term, Trump has made tariffs a key part of his government’s economic policy. He issued an executive order on his first day in office and threatened 25% tariffs on all goods from China, Canada, and Mexico. The tariffs escalated through Liberation Day in April. All this time, the S&P 500 was taking one hit after another. For instance, the broad market index pulled back 12% between April 2 and April 8, 2025. April 2 happens to be the day of Trump’s Liberation Day speech that marked a major tariff escalation.

Although the equity market appears to be correcting as of May 1, 2025 (the S&P 500 is up 12% since April 8), Dalio believes that Trump’s tariffs have wrought irreversible damage. According to a post on X on Monday, Dalio said that many of his indicators tell him that “we are on the brink of the monetary order, the domestic political and the international world orders breaking down due to unsustainable, bad fundamentals.”
