Tony Battista is back, and this episode wastes no time getting into it. Tom Sosnoff, Tony, and Sol break down the SpaceX IPO from every angle — who got allocations (and how little Scott Sheridan actually received), why the lock-up rules are unlike any IPO before it, and what retail traders need to understand before options even list. They walk through live trades in the Q's, Tesla, Netflix, and Uber, share specific rules for trading a high-volatility new offering like SpaceX, and explain why call skew will make put spreads expensive and call spreads look too cheap. Callers ask about SpaceX index inclusion, which trade survives a market collapse, and whether to leave Fidelity for tastytrade.

The SpaceX IPO is the biggest market event of 2026 so far, pulling in retail and institutional traders alike at a moment when U.S. equities are near all-time highs and volatility has been steadily compressing. For options traders, a new mega-cap IPO creates a unique and dangerous early window: implied volatility is often mispriced, there's no historical data to anchor expectations, and call skew can make familiar strategies backfire in ways that aren't obvious until it's too late. Understanding how index inclusion mechanics work — including the forced buying pressure from ETFs like QQQ — and how lock-up structures differ from traditional IPOs is essential context that most retail traders don't have before they place their first trade.
