As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second inauguration in January, a majority of investors are optimistic on his impact on the U.S. economy, according to the latest CNBC Delivering Alpha Stock Survey. In all, 71% participants in the survey think Trump "will be great for the economy and markets," while 29% disagreed with that sentiment, the survey found. Participants in CNBC's Delivering Alpha Stock Survey were split 50-50 on whether the duties will help or hinder the U.S. economy, American workers and consumers. CNBC's Delivering Alpha Stock Survey, which is issued quarterly, last week polled about 40 chief investment officers, equity strategists, portfolio managers and other money managers.

That has made it the most-bought equity by retail traders on net in 2024, as of Dec. 17. Naturally, this push into Nvidia shares has resulted in the stock playing a larger role in the average investor’s holdings. Retail investors also bought in during an early August dip, which coincided with a broader market sell-off. This event came within months of the stock’s 10-to-1split, a move that’s typically done to incentivize retail investors.

She chooses her words carefully when describing whether she trusts the Supreme Court to decide the fate of an app that 17% of teenagers report using “almost constantly.”“I don’t put, exactly, full faith into it,” said Corum, a junior, as she stood outside the Supreme Court after a recent tour of the building with her classmates. The disputes are heating up even as there are signs that young people are especially disillusioned with Washington generally and the Supreme Court specifically. Because of that, the questions now pending at the Supreme Court don’t deal with how young people interact with the app, even though they will be most affected by the court’s decision. Demonstrators in support of gender-affirming treatment make signs outside the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on December 4, 2024.

Fake reviews are found across a wide range of industries, from e-commerce, lodging and restaurants, to services such as home repairs, medical care and piano lessons. Some already employ algorithms and investigative teams to detect and take down fake reviews but are giving users some flexibility to use AI. The FTC’s rule banning fake reviews, which took effect in October, allows the agency to fine businesses and individuals who engage in the practice.

Lamond was charged with leaking information to then-Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio, who was under investigation in the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner. He was responsible for monitoring groups like the Proud Boys when they came to Washington. Lamond’s indictment says he and Tarrio exchanged messages about the January 6 riot and discussed whether Proud Boys members were in danger of being charged in the attack. “I don’t support the Proud Boys, and I’m not a Proud Boys sympathizer,” Lamond testified.
