"[T]he most popular gift that all income groups want to receive is money, either in the form of gift card, check or gift certificate. Ranking second was clothing. Among those worth $800,000 to $1.49 million, the third most popular gift is an iPad or similar tablet computer. For the $6 million or more crowd (the real one-percenters), the second most popular gift is books or CDs. Fine jewelry was more popular with the affluent than the one-percenters (only 2% of the one-percenters want jewelry this season, compared with 8% for the affluent). Yet the one-percenters are twice as likely to buy sport equipment."

But how many will buy a fucking Lexus?

@keisertroll I believe, technically, those commercials are all about leasing a Lexus.

I sure am looking forward to a new era of novels of the marriage plot… oh wait.

@dntsqzthchrmn Just finished it and it was not my favorite.

@dinosaur_senior Hated it.

One percenters aren't affluent?

Rather than exchanging money for Xmas, how do people feel about trading securities? On, say, a trading floor?
