Carson Block, the well-known short-seller (and founder of Muddy Waters Research), sits down with Matthew Partridge to discuss his high-stakes strategy of betting against companies—and surprisingly, where he sees opportunities for traditional "long" investors too. He shares red flags to watch for and why some sectors might be riskier than they appear.

Editor’s Note: Short-selling often gets a bad rap, but Block’s insights cut both ways—warning about pitfalls while hinting at overlooked opportunities. For everyday investors, it’s a rare peek into the mind of someone who profits from calling out corporate weaknesses, which could help spot warning signs in their own portfolios. Even if you’re not betting against stocks, his perspective on market risks is worth a listen.
