Stan Druckenmiller, on CNBC Squawk Box, on Monday said: “I’ve been doing this for 49 years, and we’re probably going from the most anti-business administration to the opposite…We do a lot of talking to CEOs and companies on the ground. And I’d say CEOs are somewhere between relieved and giddy. So we’re a believer in animal spirits.”
