Description
It's Tax Day, the PDT rule is officially dead in 45 days, and Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan have a lot to say about all of it. Tom shares what he told a room full of startup CEOs the night before about why professional networks are worth multiples — not percentages — of your net worth, and why most people have no idea what hidden opportunity they're leaving on the table. Then Scott breaks down outlier risk in plain terms: why trade size is the only real answer, why stress testing has limits, and what GameStop, Zoom, and Long-Term Capital Management all have in common. Sol keeps it real throughout.

56:24 Market Talk
Professional networks and outlier risk don't usually share a conversation, but they're connected by the same idea: most of what matters is happening off the public feed. The hidden job market, the private deal flow, the black swan move that stress tests can't predict — these are all features of a system where information travels through relationships, not headlines. With the PDT rule getting scrapped after 25 years, retail traders are getting a genuine shot at more active participation just as volatility starts to settle back down from the April spike. And with AI stress testing tools becoming accessible to everyday investors, the gap between institutional and retail risk management is narrowing faster than most financial media is willing to admit.
