Description
Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan open the week with markets doing what markets do—silver ripping $5, bonds sliding, Micron acting like a meme stock for adults, and the VIX stubbornly elevated even at all-time highs. Tom breaks down his trades of the week: inverse short funds MUD and SOXS, a gold strangle, naked puts in Netflix, and fresh puts in Robinhood. Then the show shifts to something every working person can relate to—the era of the horrible boss. Has the gig economy finally made it easier to walk out? Tom and Scott get into gaslighting managers, micromanagement, work-life balance, and why this generation handles it all differently. Callers weigh in on hard taskmasters vs. truly toxic bosses, the market rally vs. unresolved geopolitics overseas, and whether oil calendar spreads make sense right now.

57:57 Market Talk
The labor market and financial markets are both in genuinely strange territory right now. Employees have more information than ever—salary transparency laws, social media callouts, and platform tools are reshaping what workers will tolerate from bad bosses—yet many still feel stuck, undervalued, or unsure what their market rate actually is. Meanwhile, traders face a mirror-image problem: markets keep pushing higher on AI momentum and a weakening dollar even as geopolitical uncertainty lingers and volatility refuses to compress. Understanding when to hold your mechanics steady—whether that's staying in a job, managing a short position, or not chasing a meme stock rally—is the discipline that separates long-term winners from one-trade wonders.
