Description
Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan break down their live gold-silver pairs trade as both metals reverse sharply—gold down $200, silver crashing from $82 to $72. They explain the 1/3 rule for selling credit spreads, why option skew doesn't predict market direction, and how pairs trades statistically reduce risk by 85%. Callers ask about social security timing, home ownership strategies, breaking into financial engineering, and whether being a D1 athlete matters in hiring. Tom and Scott debate the lasting impact of the 2021 meme stock era on financial literacy and retail trading growth.
