Remember when your friend bragged about their "can't miss" stock pick? Well, if they picked The Trade Desk (TTD) at the start of 2025, they're probably not talking about it anymore.

It's like watching a digital heist movie, except the thieves decided to burn the money instead of keeping it.

The Fed Just Gave Stocks the Ultimate Green Light (And Why Santa’s Coming Early This Year)

Okay, so Jerome Powell just did something that's basically the financial equivalent of your mom saying "fine, stay out past curfew."
