Anyone seen data, even anecdotal, on vote of high net worth persons (say $10m and up), in 2024 presidential? I would guess overwhelming for Trump, even in California and NY.

The best Scrooge? George C. Scott's 1984 performance is close to Dickens' book.

"Scott’s Scrooge is a barrel-chested bully, an imposing and nasty piece of work. He’s not particularly disciplined or monkish; he’s just a corpulent old bastard who can’t remember that he was once a human being."
There are some good adaptations of the Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, and many bad ones, but only one truly great version, and it is the 1984 made-for-television movie starring George C. Scott.

After ringing the opening bell at the NYSE, President-elect Trump stopped short of telling investors to buy more stock as he gets set to take office.

“I don’t want to get into a situation where they do and we have a dip or something because that can always happen,” Trump told CNBC’s Jim Cramer.
