Fortune
Financial news publication
Fortune encompasses luck, chance, and the outcomes they bring.
Good fortune is luck in your favor; bad fortune works against you.
Fortune also means wealth: She inherited a fortune, He made his fortune in real estate.
To tell someone's fortune is to predict their future.
A fortune cookie contains a slip of paper with a prediction or aphorism. (Capitalized Fortune often refers to the business magazine.)
