Hello?

We are going to talk about Bridgewater this week,

the world's biggest hedge fund and its founder Ray Dalio and the book that has been

written about it called the fund and all of the crazy that has been going on at

that fund and whether and how it works. We are going to talk about the

actor strike which is now over. Well done studios and actors for coming to

agreement on that. We are going to talk about we work which is now in bankruptcy we have even

more bridge water in the slate plus we will learn about dog walking services in the

numbers round it's all coming up on slate money. Okay, so I think we should start by talking

about this amazing new book by Rob Copeland where he does all of this insane

reporting about what goes on inside Bridgewater which certainly used to be and I

think probably still is, the biggest hedge fund in the world.

And Emily, you are kind of up to speed on Bridgewater, but I feel there's someone better to talk about the book.

Are you asking me something, Felix?

What I'm asking you is who is the best person to talk about this book?

Well, Rob is the best person to talk about the book because Rob wrote the book.
