The programming day of Stocktoberfest presented by Tradr ETFs opened on October 7 at City Winery in New York City with a keynote from Stocktwits Founder and CEO Howard Lindzon, followed by a fireside chat between Lindzon and Barry Ritholtz, Chairman and CIO of Ritholtz Wealth Management.
Lindzon’s keynote set the tone for the day with a live walkthrough of real historical crowd calls, revealed before the market knew how they would turn out, offering a direct look at the kind of crowd-sourced signal Stocktwits was built around. The fireside chat with Ritholtz completed the opening block and kicked off a day of more than a dozen panels and fireside chats.
The sessions that followed were built around two forces Stocktwits sees defining how traders find an edge next: agentic trading and social relative strength. Over the course of the day, the stage covered the evolution of the brokerage model, agentic trading and investing, investor relations in the age of AI, social arbitrage, leveraged and inverse ETFs, prediction markets and crypto, creator-led audience building, private markets, small-cap shareholder strategy, capital allocation, and the role of market narratives.
Ritholtz was part of a speaker lineup that also included Chris Camillo, Anthony Denier, Ted Seides, Matt Markiewicz, Paul Prager, and Andrew Krochulick, among many others. The programming day capped three days in New York that began with a cocktail reception at Dream Downtown on October 5 and continued with golf, tennis, and pickleball at Century Country Club in Purchase, New York, on October 6.
