Welcome into StocktwitsTV. Michele Steele marks the return of Ben Cahn, and it’s equal parts market talk and comedy.

Ben explains why he came back: the StockTwits community is active, finance entertainment is ripe for disruption, and he wants a show that bridges younger and older audiences without being a constant cheerleader. They get into the weird rhythm of recent markets, where weekend narratives flip by Monday, and Ben admits he has no clean read on how any of this ends, even if he’s ruling out nukes.

Then Michele opens the fan mail bag: Ben’s path from Vine and social media to meeting creators, getting pulled into podcasting during the meme stock era, and why timing matters. He also clears up a misconception: he doesn’t manage other people’s money, and he breaks down how prop trading works. The whole thing closes with internet pain, Spectrum roasting, and a reminder to be nice to customer service reps.
