In this article, we discuss 10 stocks Ray Dalio and insiders are piling into. If you want to see more stocks in this selection, check out 5 Stocks Ray Dalio and Insiders Are Piling Into.

Amid a volatile stock market environment, investors are turning towards insiders, billionaires, and famous money managers, in order to replicate their trades or get an idea about the near-term outlook based on their market moves. With Q3 earnings season coming to a close and several mega-cap stocks down meaningfully year-to-date, there is a chance for insiders to extend a vote of confidence by buying up their own company shares.

Investors giving up on stocks because of recession fears amid an uncertain market backdrop may want to reconsider their actions, as insiders at prominent companies like The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST), and Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG) are going on buying sprees. It is also a good idea to observe billionaire money managers like Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, which controls a $20 billion stock portfolio as of the end of the third quarter of 2022. In an interview with Barron’s on November 11, Dalio explained his outlook on the economy in the following words:

“When the next big downturn occurs, and the economic pain is greater than the inflation pain, you will see the Fed and other central banks continue money-printing to monetize debt. Then, real rates will go down again, money will become cheaper and more plentiful, and inflation-hedge assets and new innovation/technology-company equities will be most attractive.”

Our Methodology

We used Ray Dalio’s hedge fund Q3 2022 portfolio for this analysis, selecting his largest stock positions which have also had an insider purchase in the last 6 months. We have arranged the list according to the number of hedge fund holders in each firm, tracked by Insider Monkey as of the second quarter of 2022.

Same Store sales were up double-digits in the U.S. and International exChina, with solid revenue growth across those regions. The company is experiencing cost pressures from wages and input costs though, and China same-store sales were down 23% due to zero-COVID policy restrictions and lockdowns.”

Here is what Baron Durable Advantage Fund has to say about CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CME) in its Q1 2022 investor letter:

“CME Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CME) operates the world’s largest and most diversified derivatives marketplace. Shares rose 4.6%, contributing to results as elevated market volatility and rising interest rates led to higher trading activity on CME’s exchanges. Average daily trading volume increased 19% year-over-year with notable strength in Interest Rates and Equities products. We continue to own the stock due to CME’s strong competitive moats, underpinned by its product breadth and liquidity depth, as well as its sustainable growth characteristics driven by the secular shift from uncleared over-the-counter trading to exchange-traded futures while also benefiting from the rising rate environment.”

7. The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 60

Securities filings for the third quarter of 2022 reveal that Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates owns 11.4 million shares of The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), worth $642.3 million and representing 3.25% of the total portfolio. On October 28, a director at The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) also purchased 33,200 shares priced at $60.18 each.

On October 20, The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.44 per share, in line with previous. The dividend is payable on December 15, to shareholders of record on December 1.

On October 26, UBS analyst Peter Grom raised the price target on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) to $68 from $63 and kept a Buy rating on the shares. The company’s Q3 earnings beat was “impressive” as its organic growth largely offset currency headwinds, the analyst told investors in a research note.

According to Insider Monkey’s Q2 data, 60 hedge funds were bullish on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), compared to 64 funds in the prior quarter. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway held the largest stake in the company, consisting of 400 million shares worth over $25 billion.

Here is what Aristotle Capital specifically said about The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:

“The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), the global beverage business, was a leading contributor for the period. Coca-Cola continues to benefit from the re-franchising of its bottling operations and realignment of incentives, catalysts we previously identified. These initiatives are demonstrating their strength in an inflationary and supply-chain-challenged environment. Additionally, the company has focused on evolving its customer engagement practices by leveraging digital and social media for targeted campaigns, such as the design and launch of Coke Byte in the metaverse. Lastly, Coca-Cola has furthered its transformation into a total beverage company, as it debuted its new Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Coca-Cola ready-to-drink premixed cocktail. Although uncertainties surrounding cost pressures, lockdowns and geopolitical conflicts remain, we believe Coca-Cola is uniquely positioned to successfully continue its transition toward a total beverage business.”

6. HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 63

HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA) provides healthcare services in the United States. The company operates general and acute care hospitals that offer medical and surgical services, including inpatient care, intensive care, cardiac care, emergency services, and outpatient services.

On October 21, HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA) declared a $0.56 per share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. The dividend is payable on December 28, to shareholders of the company as of December 14.

Citi analyst Jason Cassorla on October 26 raised the price target on HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA) to $251 from $240 and kept a Buy rating on the shares following the Q3 results.

According to Insider Monkey’s Q2 data, 63 hedge funds were long HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA), compared to 62 funds in the prior quarter. Harris Associates is the largest stakeholder of the company, with 7.75 million shares worth $1.30 billion.

In addition to The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST), and Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG), HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA) is backed by elite hedge funds and insiders alike.

Here is what Diamond Hill Capital Management specifically said about HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:

“HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA) is a best-in-class operator of acute care hospitals and other health care facilities, including outpatient surgery centers. It has a strong market presence in highly attractive geographies with growing populations and low unemployment, such as Texas and Florida, which leads to a favorable payor mix. We are further attracted to its strong management team that has a stellar track record of deploying capital, and the founding family continues to own almost a quarter of the business. We initiated a position after HCA reported Q1 earnings — it reduced full year guidance due to increased labor costs and lower-than-expected acuity among COVID admissions, dampening near-term investor sentiment.”

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
