Antonio can considered as a prudent businessman as his wealth is distributed over the whole world. One of Antonio’s ship is on its journey to Tripolis, another is bound for the Indies, a third is voyaging to Mexico, fourth to England and others to various other distant places.
He is so overconfident of his riches that he agrees to an unreasonable and dangerous bond.
Hence, it can be said that he Antonio is a prudent and overconfident merchant.
