From trading floor to tech era, Wall Street's 'Einstein' talks evolution

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading floor has changed a lot since its peak in the 1980s, mainly due to advances in technology. While computers now handle most trades, there are still real people on the floor doing important work for investors around the world. Peter Tuchman, known as the "Einstein of Wall Street" because of his distinctive white hair, is one of the most recognizable figures on the trading floor. He's been working there for decades, offering valuable insights to clients during both good and bad market conditions— making him the go-to source for understanding market trends. In the latest episode of Opening Bid, Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi is joined by Tuchman to discuss how market conditions have evolved from then to now. Their conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the performance of major stock indexes to specific companies like Nvidia (NVDA), which has become a leader in artificial intelligence technology.
