Former CME floor trader and RCM co-founder Bobby “Yogi” Schwartz joins Jeff to close out our Chicago month and walks through a wild career arc: from generational hog pit roots to dominating the Nasdaq futures pit during the dot-com bubble, then building prop firms, arbing minis vs. big contracts, and eventually stepping into Hollywood film finance before returning to launch RCM. Bobby shares vivid floor stories: badges, hand signals, full-contact fights, and multi-million-dollar errors, while explaining how open outcry actually worked, why Chicago produced so many elite prop traders, and how the e‑mini revolution rewired the futures landscape. He breaks down building and backing 100+ traders, deploying early “gray box” tech, and structuring option and index arb trades that bridged futures, ETFs, and cash baskets.The conversation then shifts to what RCM does today: multi-FCM clearing, outsourced trading, ETF and mutual fund infrastructure, ag and global trade finance, and navigating the explosion of new DCMs, prediction markets, and perps. Along the way, Bobby drops Hollywood war stories, Chicago steakhouse lore, and a candid look at where derivatives trading is headed next.Chapters:00:00-01:12=Intro01:13-10:06=From Yogi's Jacket to a Generational Life on the CME Floor10:07–20:20 = Inside the Nasdaq Pit: Dot‑Com Vol, E‑Mini Arbs, and Human Algos20:21–31:36 = From Floor to Screens: Building Prop Firms and Hollywood Film Arbs31:37–41:42 = Hollywood Trades: Indie Film, Oscar Winners, and Risk Like a Trader41:43–58:06 = Building RCM: Clearing, Outsourced Trading, ETFs, Ag, and China58:07–01:10:47 = Chicago War Stories: Pit Fights, Steakhouse Nights, and Trader Royalty01:10:48-01:17:51 = Life After the Pit: Chicago NightsHow Chicago Became the World's Options, Vol, and Derivatives Capital (with Cboe's Rob Hocking & Mandy Xu)Inside $2B of Chicago Real Estate: Tommy Choi on Housing, Migration, and Millennialsrcmalternatives.comDon't forget to subscribe toThe Derivative, follow us on Twitter at@rcmAlts andsign-up for our blog digest.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

On this episode of The Derivative, Jeff Malec continues Chicago Month with a deep dive into the past, present, and future of derivatives and volatility at Cboe with two of its stars. First up, Cboe Global Head of Derivatives Rob Hocking traces Chicago's rise as the world's derivatives hub, from the Board of Trade's agricultural hedging roots to SPX and VIX becoming the center of global risk transfer. Rob walks through life in the OEX and SPX pits, the culture of open outcry, the evolution from Hull and DRW to “the dark side” at the exchange, and how today's liquidity, zero‑DTE flows, and concentrated market‑making still hold up under stress. He and Jeff dig into whether the derivative can ever outgrow the underlying, why S&P 500 remains the benchmark despite megacap concentration and global basis risk, and how Cboe balances the floor's high‑touch block business with a mostly electronic market.Then Mandy Xu, Head of Derivatives Market Intelligence at Cboe, joins to break down the current volatility regime. She explains what VIX really measures (and why “fear gauge” is often wrong), how Cboe decomposes VIX into bullish vs bearish positioning, and why today's record call‑chasing and low skew feel uncomfortably close to meme‑stock and late‑'90s territory. Mandy covers the rise of zero‑DTE, option‑income and buffered ETFs, the breakdown of stock–bond correlation, the AI‑driven dispersion trade, and whether vol selling is truly “artificially” suppressing risk. The trio also find time for some Chicago vs New York banter—pizza, skylines, seasons, and sports—and a look at what's next from Cboe, from binaries on XSP to trading KPI‑style “valuation chain” products tied to names like Tesla and Cboe itself.00:00-01:43=Intro01:44–05:36 = From Corn Contracts to Options Hub05:37–20:42 = Pit Sheets to $5 Trillion a Day: Inside the S&P Options Machine20:43–30:29 = Game Within the Game30:30–35:36 = Big Blocks, Complex Trades, and the Future Beyond VIX38:07-42:15 = Pork Chops at Soldier Field42:16–51:09 = Retail Flows and the New Vol Regime51:10–1:02:57 = Is VIX Still the Fear Gauge?

On this truncated holiday edition of The Option Block, host Mark Longo is joined by panelists Mike Tosaw of St. Charles Wealth Management and Henry Schwartz of Cboe to break down a wild, high-volume week in the options market. The crew dives deep into the absolute blockbuster debut of SpaceX options, putting up a staggering 1.8 million contracts on day one—roughly 5X the historic 2012 Meta IPO record. The panel adjusts those numbers for "options inflation" compared to 2012's average daily volume (ADV) and analyzes the extreme upside skew, crashing implied volatility, and how retail traders are playing the action. Plus, Mike Tosaw gives his take on the new Fed chair's shift in guidance policy and details why he's keeping an eye on silver (SLV) put options. Finally, the team breaks down unusual activity in Butterfly Network (BFLY), Allot Limited (ALLT), and QuantumScape (QS).
Alex Thorn talks with CZ, founder of Binance, about where we sit in the four-year cycle and whether $60K is the new floor, why there are no dead bodies floating up this time, the great convergence of TradFi and crypto and why he thinks it should just be one industry, perps coming onshore to CME and CBOE, his take on Hyperliquid's no-KYC model, prediction markets and the state-versus-federal fight, why he'd freeze Satoshi's coins a year after a quantum fork, what YZI Labs is funding beyond crypto including an artificial womb company, and why agentic AI payments will run on crypto in months not years.

A truly wild week in the markets culminated in the historic SpaceX IPO, sending shockwaves through the trading landscape. In this episode, host Mark Longo is joined by special guest Henry Schwartz (The Flow Master, Cboe) and Mark Sebastian (OptionPit) to break down a massive week of intraday swings and shifting volatility structures. The panel dives deep into the market mechanics behind the $75B SpaceX debut, exploring its staggering $2.2 trillion valuation, retail distribution frenzy, and what to expect when SpaceX options officially launch next Tuesday. Will implied volatility open 20–25% too rich? Could risk reversals yield massive credits for long holders? Plus, they analyze the macro picture: a potential Middle East peace deal, plummeting oil prices, shifting bond allocations, and why VIX cash flirted with a 22 handle before settling back down. The episode wraps up with a breakdown of VIX options flow (including heavy action on the June 18 puts) and a highly contested two-week Crystal Ball prediction that sees the panel split by over six points.

Prediction markets have been easy to dismiss as a gambling product dressed up in financial language. That became harder to do when Intercontinental Exchange — the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange — quietly took a 25% stake in Polymarket. And when Robinhood partnered with Susquehanna to acquire a MIAX exchange platform that is already regulated and cleared specifically for prediction markets trading.The finance industry has a long habit of showing up wherever money is moving and taking a cut. It is showing up here now. The question for investors is not whether prediction markets will become a legitimate financial product — Nick and Kasey think that trajectory is clear. The question is which publicly traded companies are best positioned to benefit, and how to think about the difference between a short-term hype cycle and a genuine secular growth theme.In this episode, CSI steps outside its core semiconductor focus to cover the full prediction markets landscape and compare Robinhood and Interactive Brokers head-to-head on their Q1 2026 earnings — because the way those two businesses generate revenue tells you almost everything you need to know about which one is built for the long run.Robinhood reported $1 billion in revenue, up 15% year over year, with EPS up just 3% — slower than investors expected. The stock dipped on the report. But the MIAX acquisition is genuinely interesting: a regulated, cleared prediction markets exchange that could morph from a retail gambling product into a professional risk management tool for investors hedging real portfolio exposure against real-world outcomes.Interactive Brokers reported $1.68 billion in revenue, up 17% year over year, across 4.75 million accounts. The revenue chart tells a different story — smooth, consistent, institutional. Net interest income has grown to exceed transaction revenue over the past decade. ForecastEx, their prediction markets product, launched in 2024 and is already aimed at professional investors rather than retail gamblers.The comparison matters. One business is built around hype cycles and transaction spikes. The other is built around compounding institutional trust. Both are in prediction markets now. Only one of them looks like Interactive Brokers fifteen years from now.What we cover:— The prediction markets landscape: Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood, CBOE, NASDAQ, ICE— ICE owns 25% of Polymarket — what institutional validation means for the industry— Robinhood Q1 2026: $1B revenue, EPS +3% — the MIAX acquisition explained— Why prediction markets become risk management tools, not just gambling— Interactive Brokers Q1 2026: $1.68B revenue, smooth institutional revenue model— HOOD vs. IBKR: boom-bust vs. compounding — what the revenue charts actually show— The finance flywheel: why Wall Street always finds a way to monetize a new cycle— Our current positions and how we're thinking about this as a portfolio diversification playDisclosure: Nick and Kasey hold positions in Robinhood.

AI spending is moving the needle on the US GDP, and the Option Block panel is here to break down the massive capital allocation driving the markets. In this episode, Mark Longo is joined by Henry "The Flowmaster" Schwartz from Cboe and Mike Tosaw from St. Charles Wealth Management to discuss whether the market is "cutting a fat hog in the butt" with these record AI expenditures or if we're witnessing a historic capital misallocation. In this episode: The Trading Block: A deep dive into the mega-cap earnings sweep. From Meta's spending spook to Alphabet's cloud success and Microsoft's mixed bag, the team analyzes how AI CapEx is now a primary driver of market sentiment. The "Fat Hog" Trade: Mike Tosaw explains his covered call strategy in Qualcomm (QCOM) and why sometimes making a 6% premium in a month still feels like leaving meat on the bone.

Reporting from the Cboe, Kevin Hincks dives into a busy slate of economic data including the latest PCE and GDP prints. "None of it really scared the market too much," he adds. Amid early session-weakness for crude oil prices, Kevin points to the jump in energy commodities and supply disruptions as a possible root cause for higher inflation data. Later, Kevin reacts to Jerome Powell's FOMC press conference and his plans to stay on as a Fed Governor after passing the gavel to incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

AI spending is moving the needle on the US GDP, and the Option Block panel is here to break down the massive capital allocation driving the markets. In this episode, Mark Longo is joined by Henry "The Flowmaster" Schwartz from Cboe and Mike Tosaw from St. Charles Wealth Management to discuss whether the market is "cutting a fat hog in the butt" with these record AI expenditures or if we're witnessing a historic capital misallocation. In this episode: The Trading Block: A deep dive into the mega-cap earnings sweep. From Meta's spending spook to Alphabet's cloud success and Microsoft's mixed bag, the team analyzes how AI CapEx is now a primary driver of market sentiment. The "Fat Hog" Trade: Mike Tosaw explains his covered call strategy in Qualcomm (QCOM) and why sometimes making a 6% premium in a month still feels like leaving meat on the bone. The Odd Block: Unusual activity in Blue Owl Capital (OWL), Imperial Petroleum (IMPP), and a "palette cleanser" trade in Levi Strauss (LEVI). Around the Block: Predictions for Apple earnings, the upcoming OIC conference, and why the "buy the dip" mentality persists in the face of macro uncertainty.

Send us Fan MailI sat down with Tom Sosnoff, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in financial services. Tom spent 19 years on Chicago's CBOE trading floor and then left to build Thinkorswim, the first online broker specialized in options, which he sold to TD Ameritrade for $600 million. He then built Tastytrade and sold it nine years later for a billion dollars to IG Group. He is now building Lossdog, a career optimization platform to help fight wealth inequality. What I enjoyed the most of this conversation is how genuine Tom is. He's kind and cares about fairness and inequality. Prioritizes legacy over money. And he is a builder at heart that loves to take risks.Want more podcast episodes?
