Dalio likely has big chunks. His last pump and dump was Chinese stocks. He was relying on China’s government to rescue its stock market and foreign suckers to follow his lead. The Chinese government did pump some, but the amounts were such that it left barely a ripple. Foreign buyers weren’t dumb enough to follow Dalio’s lead.

The big question is whether Xi Jinping’s current hand over fist purchases of precious metals is in preparation for Taiwan or Pacific War 2, because he fears Chinese assets abroad will be frozen, as Germany’s and Japan’s were. If war breaks out, stocks could tank, precious metals retain their value or zoom. The wild card is China’s current buying in preparation for the big game, when its trade is sealed off, as wartime Japan’s was. A China with its container ships getting sunk through unrestricted sub warfare will be selling, not buying precious metals. That supply from China liquidating to pay for smuggled war materials could lower precious metals prices in wartime.
