Nelson Peltz says he is sorry he voted for Trump, calls Capitol riot 'a disgrace'
Billionaire investor Nelson Peltz on Thursday apologized for backing President Donald Trump's failed reelection efforts, telling CNBC he believes the Capitol Hill riot has permanently tarnished Trump's legacy. Peltz said his support for Trump was rooted in the president's economic policies, particularly around trade and U.S.-China relations. "All the good was gone, was thrown out, over the course of the last month and finished yesterday," Peltz said. Peltz said he hopes the pro-Trump mob taking over the Capitol is a "real turning point" for the country. "I hope we can learn from yesterday," Peltz said, urging politicians to be more bipartisan.

cnbc.comHedge fund titans Simons, Griffin, Cohen and Tepper earned $1 billion in 2019 before virus outbreak
Renaissance Technologies's James Simons, Citadel's Ken Griffin, Points72's Steven Cohen and Appaloosa Management's David Tepper were among the biggest hedge fund earners in 2019 with each man raking in over $1 billion, according to Institutional Investor's Rich List. 1 on the list was Christopher Hohn of TCI Fund Management, who earned in $1.8 billion last year, according to Institutional Investor. As a result of a banner year, the 25 highest-earning hedge fund managers made a combined $20.2 billion in 2019, the most since 2013. It's likely that a significant portion of the managers' 2019 income was erased throughout the market collapse. For example, Bridgewater's Dalio told CNBC last week that his hedge fund was down 10% to 20%.

"It has been an exciting year, and not in the way that shareholders in this sector would like," said Cam Battley, chief corporate officer of Aurora Cannabis. The top six publicly traded marijuana companies have lost a combined $25 billion in market value since the end of March.
