The Daily Money 12-11


Hello, money readers. It's David, with Wednesday's top financial and tech stories.

A new study shows millionaires are down on the U.S. economy. One group that's not gloomy about the future — the 198 employees at a Maryland real estate firm who are splitting a $10 million holiday bonus. And the days of bringing some paper prescriptions to pharmacies are numbered, but not at Walmart, at least not yet.

Today's gift-giving tip: Don't buy co-workers gifts that seem too intimate, like an item worn close to the body, from clothes to perfume.
