Mark Cuban, the wealthiest man on the show publicly backed Hillary Clinton. In pure Trump-fashion, he trolled the then-Republican nominee on Twitter, culminating in a $10 million pitch to Trump to agree to a four-hour long interview. Trump didn’t respond, so it appears on that deal, he’s out.

Cuban hounded Trump on substance, predicting that “in the event that Trump wins, I have no doubt in my mind that the market tanks.” This was the general consensus among the financial elite.

The Dow Jones surged past the 19,000 milestone for the first time in its 120-year history in a post-election rally.

Below is charted the performance of the three major U.S. stock market indexes over the past three months, with the date of the election noted on the graphs.

The VIX index (which measures market volatility, and is also known as the “fear index”) also fell following the election, which was surprising considering the unexpected outcome.
