Description
Tom Sosnoff, Scott Sheridan, and Tony Battista get into one of the oldest market sayings—"buy the rumor, sell the news"—and reveal what the research actually shows: it's 100% random, every single time. From there, the conversation shifts to the big investing debate of the moment, moonshot style versus moat style, and whether retail traders piling into SpaceX and Micron have permanently changed how markets move. Callers bring sharp questions on copper options trading, selling insurance vs. selling options, whether the new Fed chair will move markets, and what it actually feels like to manage other people's money. The show closes with a caller who got quietly bought out of his SpaceX pre-IPO fund position without consent—and Tom and Scott explain exactly why that happened and who was really responsible.

1:04:31 Final market recap and SpaceX valuation question
The "buy the rumor, sell the news" trade is one of the most repeated ideas in markets—and one of the least supported by data. Research from the thinkorswim era found the outcome is essentially a coin flip regardless of the event type, which cuts against the instinct that big announcements create predictable moves. Meanwhile, SpaceX's debut as a publicly traded company is reshaping how retail investors think about risk: a generation shaped by meme stocks and social media is gravitating toward moonshot positions over traditional value plays, and the numbers suggest they're moving markets in ways institutional investors didn't see coming. The question of whether that behavior is a structural shift or a cycle that eventually breaks is exactly what Tom, Scott, and Tony are working through in real time—and it's a question every investor probably should be asking right now.
