He and his wife, Dr. Christy Chaudhuri, have about $250,000 invested in the market.
“I don't know what the market reflects right now. It's definitely concerning that it's so volatile, and we've seen that a couple times now. I think the economy worries me more than the stock market, which, in this disconnected era, you become immune to or less shocked by. If the economy goes down, that's much more of a concern.”
Of his financial adviser, Ajay Kaisth of KAI Advisors, Mr. Chaudhuri said: “I know he's going to treat my money as his. We've had other financial people help us, but there's never been the amazing honesty and disclosure. This week, I spoke to him for 30 minutes and received two nice newsletters about what is going on, and he told me not to panic. This is why having someone who knows what's going on helps. Just having him keeps me from panicking.”
