Description
Tom Sosnoff, Scott Sheridan, and Sol get into the must-have negotiation skills that most people skip — preparation, active listening, knowing your number, and how to make the other side's decision easy. They also break down how to trade a one-directional market at all-time highs without blowing yourself up, walk through real Lossdog customer trades in NatGas, TLT, IWM, and QQQ, and tackle the question every DIY investor faces: how do you cut through all the financial noise? Plus a caller asks about Hyperliquid and decentralized perpetual futures, and there's a first look at Lossdog's new AI-powered prediction engine.

Today's episode lands right as most professionals admit they've never formally negotiated a raise — and pay the price for it. In 2026, with AI reshaping job roles and compensation benchmarks shifting faster than most salary guides can track, the ability to walk into a negotiation prepared, confident, and data-backed isn't just a nice skill — it's the difference between being fairly paid and quietly underpaid for years. Meanwhile, markets hitting all-time highs on a nearly 30-day run raise the same discipline question for traders that negotiation raises for workers: when everything seems to be going one direction, how do you stay rational instead of just going with the crowd?
