Practical approach to sustainable wealth
Its the time of the month when I provide an update on AVI family net worth. I began compiling data for this post with some trepedition. As most of my readers know, I am heavily invested in stocks and the events of past one month were, to put it mildly, devastating for my portfolio. The […]

Cash portion of my asset is growing beyond what I feel is necessary (2 years worth liquid funds to maintain AVI family life-style). With US-market tops being breached consistently without any signs of slow-down, investment opportunities in the US markets is increasingly getting harder to come by. As such, I am starting to look into […]
