What is the main topic of this episode?
Hey Vodafone, ich weiß ja, schnelles Internet für meinen Betrieb hat seinen Preis. Nö, bei uns nur den halben. Wie wär's zum Beispiel mit bis zu 1000 Mbit pro Sekunde für nur 29,95 Euro im Monat?
Die Firma dankt.

Happy to be here.
For the two or three people on the planet who don't actually know who you are, let's get a couple updates and share kind of what your story is, what you've done, the success you've had.
Well, I'm sure there's more than a few, but my whole career outside of my first year out of school, my whole career has been spent in the market. So I traded on the floor of the CBOE. I went down the summer of 86. I left in 2003 officially. But my partner and I had already started before I left. We had started Thinkorswim, which was our first brokerage firm. We sold that to TD Ameritrade. It is now part of Charles Schwab. And 10 years ago, I actually just had my 10-year anniversary, we started another brokerage firm to compete. It's called Tasty Trade, and that is currently where I am. I am the CEO of Tasty Trade, which is another online brokerage firm.
Gotcha. Just because I'm curious, what is the massive difference between Thinkorswim and Tasty?
Great question. Both firms, well for sure when we started Thinkorswim, we were focusing on derivatives. So options, equity options was really our sweet spot. That's still the case today. So of course we do offer stock trading, but we specialize in options and futures, crypto. So it's a full platform, you can trade wherever you want to trade. The big difference is how thin or how light our platform is today compared to what we built at Thinkorswim. Und wie ich Denker beschreibe, würde ich sagen, es ist mein Baby. Ich liebe mein Baby. Aber wir sind weitergegangen und wir haben mit dem, was wir glauben, eine kleinere, simplere, schnellere Weise, um Leute zu handeln.
Gut. All right. Du sprichst von Optionen. Und wir sprechen nicht von Puts und Calls an diesem Punkt. Wir sprechen von Optionen mit dem Welt, wo die Dinge gehen. Und du hast einen enormen Anzahl an Erfolg gehabt. Du hattest mehrere Auslöse und hast einen enormen Anzahl an Wachstum geschaffen. For some people, the world seems very volatile right now. And we're going to try and leave all the politics on the sideline, which is not easy for you and I to do, but the camera's rolling, so we get to do that. And talk about where the market's going. And there's a lot of people who are terrified. You know, you mentioned before the camera started rolling, for the people in their early 20s into their mid-30s, they've never seen a collapse before.
