What are Trump Accounts exactly?

Government-backed savings and investment accounts for minors, run through apps like Robinhood. Tax advantages, potential matching funds to encourage early saving.

Will ARK's Robinhood buy pay off big?

Maybe — if Trump Accounts scale fast. But volatility and regulation could tank it. Wood's bets often swing wild.

Is Robinhood safe for kids' money?

Debatable. Slick app, but history of glitches and fines. Parents, check alternatives like Fidelity.
