Markets opened September with a rough selloff — NASDAQ down 400+ handles, oil up over 2%, gold tumbling — and Tom Sosnoff, Scott Sheridan, and Tony Battista get right into it. The headline: Goldman Sachs forecasts $1.44 trillion in corporate buybacks in 2026, making companies the single largest buyer of equities, and that raises a real question about whether share price still reflects actual value or just how much cash a company is willing to spend defending its stock. The Tim Cook debate gets heated, the ZEBRA options strategy gets a clean walkthrough, and there's a practical breakdown of how to size positions on a $200K account. The show also covers pin risk, gold's shaky safe-haven narrative, Scott's trades of the week, and a caller from Prague asking about busted SPACs trading at steep discounts to treasury.

0:00 Intro
1:10 Market open: NASDAQ & S&P selloff
3:26 Oil spike and bond market pressure
6:15 Corporate buybacks: Goldman's $1.44T forecast
9:54 Iron condors: what drives your market bias?
11:31 Zebra options strategy explained
25:31 News vs. noise: how to filter what matters
36:52 Caleb Williams: 30 TD prediction debate
38:21 Scott's trades of the week
51:18 Tim Cook: great CEO or overrated?
56:35 Caller: sizing a $200K options account
1:10:41 Gold: is the safe-haven playbook broken?
1:20:36 Pin risk: real hazard or just noise?
1:30:13 Final market recap
Corporate stock buybacks are on pace to hit record levels in 2026, with Goldman Sachs projecting $1.44 trillion — nearly double the value of new shares being issued. When companies become the dominant net buyers of their own equity, the traditional connection between price and underlying business value gets murky in ways most retail investors never think about. Gold's failure to rally on geopolitical risk news is adding fuel to a broader debate about whether the old flight-to-quality playbook still holds in a market driven by momentum and macro positioning. For options traders, pin risk — the scenario where a stock closes within cents of a short strike and assignment status stays unknown until Saturday morning — remains one of the most practical and underappreciated edge cases to understand before it catches you off guard.
