Uncle Sam’s Stock Shopping Spree: When the Government Becomes Your Investment Buddy
Remember when the government's idea of "market involvement" was holding boring hearings and wagging fingers at CEOs? Yeah, those days are over. Uncle Sam has apparently discovered the stock market, and he's shopping like it's Black Friday at Best Buy.
Here's the wild part: the feds aren't just buying bonds anymore. They're taking actual equity stakes in public companies. We're talking about MP Materials, Intel, Trilogy Metals, and Lithium Americas. And when Uncle Sam writes a check, the market goes absolutely ...

While everyone was obsessing over whether the Fed would cut rates last week (spoiler: they did), Jerome Powell and crew pulled a classic magician's trick. They made the real news happen while you were looking the other way.
Meet "reserve management purchases" – or as I like to call it, "QE's boring cousin who's actually pretty cool once you get to know them."

Well, well, well. Just when you thought 2025 couldn't get any weirder, Wall Street analysts decided to flip the script on some of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) stocks. In what can only be described as the financial equivalent of a high school popularity contest, Ford just got invited to sit at the cool kids' table while Amazon got relegated to eating lunch in the library.

The Trade Desk’s Epic Face Plant: How the S&P 500’s Biggest Loser Lost 70% in One Year
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. This digital advertising darling just earned the dubious honor of being the S&P 500's worst performer, down a gut-wrenching 70%. Ouch.
To put that in perspective, even companies dealing with broke consumers—like Lululemon and Chipotle—didn't get hammered this hard. So what the hell happened?

The Fed’s Sneaky Money Move That Actually Matters More Than Rate Cuts
While everyone was obsessing over the Fed's latest rate cut last week (yawn, we all saw that coming), Jerome Powell and crew pulled a much sneakier move that's actually way more important for your portfolio. And honestly? Most people completely missed it.
Here's what happened: The Fed quietly announced they're starting something called "reserve management purchases" – which is basically Fed-speak for "we're buying a ton of Treasury bonds again." They're dropping $40 billion a month on short-term Treasurys, and this ...

Okay, so picture this: You're scrolling through your portfolio on a Sunday afternoon (because apparently that's what we do for fun now), and suddenly you see Ford—yes, Ford—getting upgraded while Amazon gets the boot down a notch. If that doesn't make you spit out your coffee, you might want to check your pulse.
