Live for the NASDAQ market site in the heart of New York City's Times Square. Look at that.

And what will be the heart of the New York's party? Because we are just hours away from the ball

dropping the official bell ringing in 2026, at least here on the East Coast. This is fast money.

We have got a big New Year's Eve show for you. We are live, and as you probably heard me muttering. We are the last live show of the year, I do believe. All right. Cheers, by the way, to the year. Mark controlling out a third year of double-digit gains. We take a look at the winners, the losers, and what to expect in the new year.
