Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>) shares soared on Monday afternoon after billionaire investor Bill Ackman touted the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42635629/bill-ackmans-advice-stay-away-from-shorting-stocks-avoid-commodity-sensitive-industries-and-you-do-great"> stocks on social media. </a>
The Details: Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square hedge fund, recommended the stocks as an investment with "large asymmetric upside versus downside" in <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1873818034428694837">a post</a> on the social media platform X.&nbsp;
Ackman said he sees the potential for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to come out of conservatorship in the next two years. Ackman pointed to the incoming Trump administration as a factor making the end of conservatorship more likely for the home lenders.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed under conservatorship in September 2008 in response to the deterioration of the housing market during the 2008 financial crisis. The Federal Housing Finance Agency became the conservator to preserve and conserve the assets and to provide stability to the housing and mortgage markets.&nbsp;

Ackman said that the companies have built $168 billion of capital since 2019 and described this as a "fortress-level of capital for guarantors of fixed-rate, first mortgages to creditworthy, middle class borrowers."&nbsp;
Ackman said he estimates the value of each company at approximately $34 per share, assuming the companies could IPO in the fourth quarter of 2026. He added that he sees the IPOs priced at approximately $31 per share accounting for a 10% discount to their value.&nbsp;&nbsp;
He also pointed to the benefits of ending the conservatorship for the federal government including the removal of approximately $8 trillion in liabilities and the potential to generate more than $300 billion in profits. 
"Trump likes big deals and this would be the biggest deal in history. I am confident he will get it done," Ackman wrote.&nbsp;

Warner Bros. Discovery Says Li Haslett Chen Notified Her Decision To Resign From Board, Effective As Of January 31, 2025

President Jimmy Carter, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers-shakers/24/12/42716329/jimmy-carter-the-39th-us-president-who-championed-human-rights-and-peace-in-the-middle-east-had-died">died at his home</a> on Sunday at age 100, brought a political outsider status to Washington, D.C. during a period of immense distrust in government. 
There was the Watergate scandal, high inflation, mass protests due to the Vietnam War, high government spending and loose monetary policy. 
Carter, a Georgian native who won the White House in 1976, inherited an economy reeling from a recession and subsequent inflation proved disastrous for his 1980 reelection bid.
<a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FPCPITOTLZGUSA">According</a> to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, inflation neared 6% in 1976 before Carter&#8217;s presidency began. 
Carter then presided over 6.5%, 7.5%, 11.3% and 13.5% inflation in successive years. Economists consider 2% to be a healthy rate of inflation.
&#8220;In the last 10 years, in our attempts to protect ourselves from inflation, we've developed attitudes and habits that actually keep inflation going once it has begun,&#8221; the 39th U.S. President <a href="https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2014/article/one-hundred-years-of-price-change-the-consumer-price-index-and-the-american-inflation-experience.htm#_edn47">said</a> in 1978.
&#8220;Most companies raise their prices because they expect costs to rise. Unions call for large wage settlements because they expect it to happen, and once it's started, wages and prices chase each other up and up. It's like a crowd standing at a football stadium. No one can see any better than when everyone is sitting down, but no one is willing to be the first to sit down.&#8221;
In 1979, Carter nominated Paul Volcker, then the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to chair the Federal Reserve. Volcker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/22/10/29239702/the-fed-is-skating-to-where-the-puck-was-analogies-to-volckers-1980s-inflation-are-conce-1">hawkishly shaped monetary policy</a> by <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS">hiking</a> the federal funds rate from 10% to nearly 18%. 
The economy then entered a recession as the unemployment rate neared 8%.
That year, Carter was also dealing with the Iranian Revolution. From April 1979 to November 1980, the price of oil spiked over 130%, <a href="https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&amp;s=f000000__3&amp;f=m">per</a> the Energy Information Administration. This worsened inflation and created &#8220;stagflation,&#8221; an increase in prices and unemployment due to a negative supply shock.
Carter faced a primary challenge from Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, which he won decisively. But he fared much worse in the general election, suffering a landslide loss to then-California Governor Ronald Reagan. Reagan, a Republican, carried 44 states and won the popular vote by nearly 10%.
Volcker&#8217;s monetary policy and the induced recession did not lend Carter any electoral help. Volcker&#8217;s rate hikes continued during the Reagan administration. They went as high as 21% leading to a prolonged recession in 1981 and 1982. 
Still, economists <a href="https://www.bu.edu/econ/files/2011/01/GKcr2005.pdf">credit</a> Volcker for the historic disinflation and end of high inflation expectations. Inflation remained below 6%, usually hovering around 2%, for several decades following the 1980s.
Historians have increasingly reevaluated Carter&#8217;s presidency. Today, they acknowledge the long-term significance of his decisions despite his administration&#8217;s unpopularity. 
Carter&#8217;s appointing of Volcker as Fed chair was politically costly but is considered a crucial step in curbing historic inflation.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was updated to correct the rankings to account for Walmart&#8217;s 2024 stock split.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high of over 45,000 points in December, one of several stock market indexes to hit records after Donald Trump won the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41857971/trumps-win-sends-wall-street-to-record-highs-small-caps-tesla-outperform-fed-cuts-interest-rates-this-week-in-the-market">2024 presidential election.</a>
Here's a look at the top-performing and worst-performing Dow Jones Industrial Average components in 2024 and how the index's leaders could look much different in 2025.
2024 Performance: In 2024, 18 of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones component stocks </a>were up, with 12 stocks declining for the full year. This includes the original Dow Jones members at the start of 2024 and does not factor in the index changes made throughout the year.
Here's a look at the top five gainers for the full year, based on Dec. 27 closing prices:
<ol>
<li>Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>): +70.6%</li>
<li>American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>): +60.7%</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>): +49.4%</li>
<li>JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>): +41.8%</li>
<li>International Business Machines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>): +36.2%</li>
</ol>
Here are the top five losers for the full year, based on Dec. 27 closing prices:
<ol>
<li>Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDSSQ:WBA): -63.2%</li>
<li>Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>): -59.6%</li>
<li>Boeing Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>): -30.7%</li>
<li>Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>): -29.6%</li>
<li>Dow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) -27.0%</li>
</ol>
For comparison, 19 of the Dow Jones components stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36455419/5-biggest-winners-5-biggest-losers-from-dow-jones-industrial-average-in-2023">were up in 2023</a>, with 11 down for the full year.
A quick look at the losers list shows two stocks that are no longer part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, thanks to several changes that took place in 2024 to the 30 core components.
Apple is the only stock to appear on the top gainers list for both 2023 and 2024, ranking fourth in 2023 and fifth in 2024.
Intel was the second-biggest gainer in 2023 before falling in 2024 and turning in the second-worst performance of the 30 stocks. Boeing also flipped from being a top performer, ranking fifth in 2023 to turning in a poor performance in 2024.
Walgreens was the worst-performing Dow Jones stock for the second straight year, but that will be a thing of the past heading into 2025.

 What's Next in 2025: After several years of no changes to the 30 components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the well-known market index made multiple changes in 2024.
The index replaced underperforming Walgreens with Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in February. The index also replaced Intel and Dow Inc with NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) respectively.
With the changes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will now have four of the seven Magnificent 7 stocks heading into 2025 with Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) all included in the Dow.
The stocks that left the Dow Jones in 2024 were among the biggest losers in 2024 for the index, with Walgreens ranking worst for yearly performance, Intel ranking second worst and Dow ranking sixth worst at -27.0%.
The underperformance of several Dow Jones components kept the index down compared to other market barometers. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is up 14.0% year-to-date in 2024.
For comparison, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, is up 23.8% year-to-date.
The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>), which tracks the Magnificent 7 stocks, is up 68.5% year-to-date.
Having Amazon, Nvidia and Sherwin Williams as components to start 2024 would have made the index's returns look significantly different. While the three stocks that left the index were each down over 25% year-to-date in 2024, here are the year-to-date returns of the replacement stocks in 2024:
<ul>
<li>Amazon: +46.6%</li>
<li>Nvidia: +179.8%</li>
<li>Sherwin-Williams: +11.8%</li>
</ul>
The Dow Jones Industrial Average will look significantly different in 2025 than in previous years, and more changes could be ahead for stocks that have underperformed in the index.
