在芝加哥董事会选项交易所的二十年将是一个成功的地板交易者的全部和繁荣的生活。But for Tom Sosnoff, an index market maker and one of the first Standard & Poor’s 100 Index traders, those 20 years only took him up to 1999. The dot-com boom was beckoning, and Sosnoff sensed an opportunity to make sophisticated investment strategies accessible to the emerging online trading marketplace. The self-styled options geek left the pits and founded Thinkorswim, which combined an e-brokerage platform — including a pioneering single-click trading function for complex spreads — with options-focused investor education. “Nobody did what we did in popularizing derivatives,” the 54-year-old boasts. In 2006, Thinkorswim merged with investor education provider Investools, a public company, and in 2009, having grown to 700 employees, was bought by TD Ameritrade for more than $600 million. Sosnoff took a senior strategy position at TD for “the only two years I ever collected a paycheck,” he says. “I love to start businesses.” Last May, still tucking shoulder-length hair under his trademark beret, Sosnoff went on the air — literally — with Tastytrade, currently streaming six hours of live daily video programming from a former hip-hop studio in Chicago. Tastytrade positions itself as an alternative to CNBC and its ilk, promising “immediately usable trading strategies” and “reinventing content for investors,” Sosnoff says.
