Description
Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista open the show in the thick of a brutal chip stock selloff — Micron down nearly $40 at the open, Nvidia off, AMD getting hit — while the broader S&P barely flinches. Tom walks through his live Micron clawback trade and his ongoing short position, then Tony runs his full "Walk Down Y'all Street" segment with specific setups in Micron, IBM, SpaceX, and Netflix ahead of earnings. Scott Sheridan joins for the second half to take on the "Teflon market" question head-on: what does it mean when this market absorbs IBM shocks, semiconductor selloffs, and oil spikes without blinking? They also break down the newly launched Texas Stock Exchange — who backed it, how it actually changes order routing for retail traders, and why more competition almost always means better fills. Callers bring real questions on tastytrade's IVR scan process, option selling philosophy (high-probability vs. outlier risk), and whether profit-taking should ever be mechanical.

Markets shrugging off bad earnings and semiconductor chaos is now the baseline in 2026, not the exception. S&P passive index fund inflows running $1-2 billion a day have created a structural bid that makes individual bad news nearly irrelevant — until it isn't. The Texas Stock Exchange entering the fray is part of a broader fragmentation story: more exchanges, more competition, tighter spreads, and eventually lower data costs for the firms that pass savings on to retail traders. On the options side, the perennial debate between high-probability premium selling and tail-risk protection strategies is as live as ever, especially as the market's implied complacency sits near all-time-low VIX territory while individual chip names lose 15-20% in a session.
