Description

In this episode of The CEO Series, Will sits down with Lossdog co-founder and CEO Tom Sosnoff.

Tom talks about starting on Wall Street in 1980, moving to Chicago to trade on the CBOE floor, and meeting Scott Sheridan, his business partner of nearly 40 years. He walks through building and selling thinkorswim and tastytrade, including the three-way trade with the Ricketts family that closed the thinkorswim deal.

He also covers the $3 million investment that turned Zero Hash around, what he's building now at Lossdog, and why he and Scott gave $50 million to their employees after their exits.

He shares his views on CEO pay, the wealth gap, and American capitalism, and gets into his trading philosophy, the biggest mistake people make in the stock market, and why he'd rather follow people who are always wrong.
