Some on Wall Street view a Harris win as a potential obstacle for antitrust and megacap technology stocks.

“Too frequently, large grocery companies use their significant market power to hike prices for essential goods and take advantage of customers,” the letter said. Grocery prices shot up 20% between January 2021 and December 2022, causing some consumers to cut back on common purchases like red meat and eggs. But inflation is now virtually back to normal; since November 2023, grocery prices have been increasing by less than 2% on an annual basis.

Kroger has denied that claim, saying electronic pricing would only be used to lower prices whenever possible.

However, Wyoming and South Dakota are also options as they do not tax trust income or capital gains and protect trust assets from creditors.
