Description
Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan open this Labor Day week edition live as the market gets unsettled — bonds getting hammered, September rate hike odds jumping from 35% to over 60% overnight, and NASDAQ barely holding everything else together. They get into whether AI infrastructure capex is a genuine paradigm shift or just the cycle's shiniest new obsession, break down earnings expected moves for Nvidia and Crowdstrike, and walk through Tom's contrarian trades of the week in Walmart, Microsoft, Intel, and soybeans. Then Liz Dierking — longtime tastylive co-host, long-time friend of Tom, Scott, and Tony Battista, and now part of the Liz and Jenny Show — stops by completely unannounced and lights up the room, sharing her Bitcoin and crypto ETF approach, SPX zero-DTE put ratio setups, and bond positioning thoughts alongside all three hosts. The show closes out with a deep session on probability of touch versus probability of expiring — including the origin story of how thinkorswim was the first platform to ever put that number on a screen — plus callers who mostly just want to say hi to Liz, and end-of-day S&P predictions.

September carries one of the most unusual tensions in the financial calendar — historically the weakest month for equities, yet home to the strongest options expiration cycle of the year, with traders rolling from September to December futures contracts in the second week. The Fed watch tool ticking above 60% odds of a rate hike creates a classic price puzzle: if every market participant already sees that number, how much of it is already in the bond? Bitcoin's compression around $80K — well off its all-time highs north of $120K — signals a more institutionalized crypto landscape, where ETF wrappers like IBIT and ETHA are quietly becoming the smarter vehicle for options strategies than owning coins outright. And the debate over whether AI infrastructure spending is a transformational shift or just the cycle's current obsession echoes a long line of Wall Street paradigm shifts — from dot-era eyeball counts to EBITDA multiples to whatever comes next — a reminder that the metric everyone's screaming about today is rarely the one that actually lasts.
