Interview with Tom Sosnoff

Next, we see a conversation with tastylive CEO, Tom Sosnoff, in Chicago. He explains that trading activity has been slow recently due to a long weekend and the end of the quarter. This means that people are adjusting their portfolios to reduce risk and the market has been relatively inactive. Sosnoff believes that the market will change unexpectedly, not necessarily influenced by any particular event.

He also mentions an interesting move by Tesla, where they are offering US customers a one-month free trial of their self-driving technology. Sosnoff suggests that this is an attempt by Tesla to boost sales, as they have been struggling to sell their self-driving software. However, he doubts that many customers will continue with the subscription after the trial period. Comparatively, he argues that Tesla is taking a more experimental approach compared to other car companies.
