Ray Dalio is often asked on social media for advice for young people and shared his top advice in May 2020.

The claim has two parts: Dalio is often asked on social media for advice for young people, and he shared his top advice for them in May 2020. True: his social media accounts show a post or video around 2020-05-14 sharing advice aimed at young people or graduates, and his accounts show recurring questions or requests from users asking for such advice. Mostly true: the advice post exists as described, but there is only limited visible evidence of frequent requests, beyond his own statement. Mixed: the post exists but is not specifically advice for young people, or it was posted well outside May 2020. Mostly false: no such advice was shared around that time, and only older, unrelated material exists. False: the evidence shows he shared no such advice and his accounts contain no such post.

An independent report dated 2020-05-06 says Dalio was giving a Twitter 'commencement address' in ten daily aphorisms to new graduates (E1). That confirms he shared advice for young people around May 2020. Pulse 2.0 says he receives questions on social media and answers them daily (E2). It does not specifically show frequent requests for advice for young people, so that part rests largely on his own statement.
