Ambani wedding is estimated to cost 1,000 Indian crores, which is around $120 million. That's only 0.1% of Ambani's near-$113 billion net worth A good example of financial restraint in a country where people spend beyond their means for luxurious weddings

My wife and I read sell-side reports to our children. My son is only 3 and can already assign a 40% probability to the odds of U.S. recession within the next 12 months. Our clients are shocked at his wise counsel that portfolio hedges are a good idea because volatility is low.
