Description
Tom Sosnoff breaks down why financial advisor fees sitting at 60 basis points across $30 trillion in assets are about to get crushed by AI — and why that's a massive win for consumers. Scott Sheridan walks through the math on a potential 20% market meltdown in 2026 (spoiler: the options market puts it at 30%), plus how to actually position for downside risk without panicking. The show also gets into natural gas strangles, the pattern day trading rule update, staggered profit-taking mechanics, and whether AI will widen or shrink the executive pay gap. Callers Vince and Kirsten bring real questions on delta selection and decision-making instincts.

The conversation around advisory fees hits at a moment when the wealth management industry controls roughly $30 trillion in assets at an average cost of 60 basis points — and AI is threatening to compress that to a fraction of what it is today. At the same time, with VIX hovering just under 20 and options math pricing a 30% probability of touching a 20% drawdown this year, the question of how retail traders should position for risk has never been more practical. The pattern day trading rule, a relic that has restricted accounts under $25,000 for over two decades, is finally entering its final comment period with FINRA, potentially dropping the threshold to just $2,000. Meanwhile, the broader debate around AI and the labor market — from entry-level job displacement to executive pay gaps — is shifting from theoretical to urgent as AI agents start handling tasks once reserved for human professionals.
