Carson Block, CEO of Muddy Waters Research, joins The Express to explain how one of the most influential short sellers identifies the frauds, the lies, the half-truths and the warning signs that companies sometimes use to dupe investors. Block discusses why his firm and others are looking deep into the commercial and residential real estate markets for what might be rotting inside balance sheets, and the catchphrases investors should be aware of inside corporate filings. Plus, retail investors took an extended spring break in April, but may have rediscovered their favorite stocks.
