Good morning. We hope you had a great Thanksgiving break.
Markets: It’s the most wonderful time of the year…on Wall Street. Stocks jumped to fresh records on Friday, while the S&P 500 and the small-cap Russell 2000 recorded their best months of 2024. Looking ahead to the rest of December, optimism abounds: Consumer sentiment is up, a busy holiday shopping season awaits, and investors are jazzed about the incoming Trump administration's deregulatory agenda.
