The 34-year-old is serving a life sentence in the US for killing his wife Shanann, 34 — who was carrying his unborn son, Nico — and two daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, so he could be with his lover, Nichol “Nikki” Kessinger.

On India, he said it make sense to own some oil stocks as a hedge against a potential shock on crude oil prices. He also likes life insurance companies and mutual fund players in the Indian equity market. Wood believes the sharp slowdown in the economy would provide a great opportunity for consolidation to top Indian companies.

Auctioning off stuck real estate projects will … [Read more...] about From a 10-year view, Indian stocks better than US ones: Chris Wood
