NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz's campaign said Wednesday it has raised nearly $20 million over the last three months, a large haul that further cements the Texas senator's status as a serious contender for the nomination heading into the Iowa caucuses.
Cruz's campaign said in a memo to supporters that he will finish the year having raised over $45 million. That means his haul over the final quarter will be significantly larger than the $12 million he raised during the previous three months of the year. He had raised more than $26 million through the end of September.
We're in a season when experts and pundits like to make predictions about what will happen next year.
But an interesting column found at Marketwatch.com casts doubt on the value of those predictions. "Stocks that were recommended most highly at the start of 2015 by the highly trained, highly educated, highly paid experts on Wall Street did worse this year than a bunch of stocks picked at random."
