Adam Mesh and Tom Sosnoff break down a market where volatility has contracted for six straight weeks. Tom explains why the Treasury's doubled bond buybacks are "couch money," why a $12 expected move on NVIDIA isn't worth selling premium into, and what actually gets him deploying capital again. Plus: Moderna traded above its highest listed strike, and Adam turned that into a same-day trade. Tom also tells the Ben Bernanke story every trader should hear, opens up about his new company LossDog, and walks through a live TLT premium setup on screen. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👥 Hosts: Adam Mesh is a stock trader, entrepreneur, and trading coach who has spent decades teaching everyday investors how to navigate the markets.
