Tom Sosnoff, Scott Sheridan, and Sol kick off a new show format on One Lucky Dog Live!—and today's mix hits hard: are companies deliberately using the weak job market to slot overqualified candidates into internships instead of real jobs? Tom and Scott share exactly how they ran internships at tastytrade, what made them valuable (hint: about 25% turned into full-time offers), and why the most important thing you get from an internship isn't the job title. Then it's into buy the dip—when it works, what vehicle to use, why it's outperformed selling the rally for 20 years, and whether 2026 might finally be the year that streak breaks. Plus a live market update with Apple leading, VIX at 25, and Tom's top premium-selling plays in gold and crude oil right now.

45:15 Do you only buy the dip during sell offs?
48:11 What is your preferred vehicle for BTD?
49:50 Why does BTD seem to work better than sell the rally
53:03 Is buy the dip just an oversold hunch?
57:52 Market Talk: VIX, gold, crude oil plays
The job market in 2026 looks nothing like it did five years ago. Hiring has slowed enough that companies now have serious leverage—and some are using it to fill roles with internships instead of entry-level positions, paying less and offering no benefits in the process. For anyone navigating this as a job seeker, understanding how to read that dynamic (and whether to play along or push back) is genuinely useful information. On the markets side, the buy the dip playbook has worked almost without interruption since 2008—but the math behind why it works is something most retail investors never actually see: the market has been up nearly 58-60% of trading days over the last two decades, a meaningful shift from the historical 53-47 split that used to make stocks a much harder sell as an asset class. Whether that edge holds through a volatile, tariff-rattled 2026 is the real question worth watching.
