It has led to eight delistings…and a [Justice Department] case against tariff evasion,” he said.\nUltimately, he said Muddy Waters would continue its work and that the market would determine whether it becomes uneconomical.\nBeyond investing, Carson launchedZer0es.TVlast year, with the intent of providing in-depth discussions about short selling and investing. In a recent video, he said that angst emanating from Redditors may also reflect pent-up frustration with COVID confinement and a desire to disrupt establishment structures as the gap between the wealthy and the impoverished widens.\nHe said that the new landscape of social-media-driven trading may result in pros being more nimble.\n“We may just have to be more creative and smart in how we structure trades and manage risk,” he added, suggesting that pro investors may need to structure more complex trades to avoid being blown out of some positions.\nBlock said he’s not betting that the markets will break down soon, but warned that we are at a point in the cycle where anything can go wrong.\n“We’re not in a tightening cycle, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong and can have a knock-on effect to the market, and a market that is very much tied to flows,” Block said.\n“I’m not taking the view that it’s about to end soon,” he said.\nOn Monday, the market regained some of the ground lost in Friday’s drubbing, with the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+0.76%,the S&P 500 indexSPX,+1.61%and the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,+2.55%finishing solidly higher.\nBlock rose to fame in 2011 after he revealed fraudulent practices at Chinese forestry company Sino-Forest Corp., which ended up filing for bankruptcy the following year.\nBlock, on hisZer0es.TVwebcast, said he has little doubt about where this ends for individual investors, and described popular trading platform Robinhood as selling their clients to market makers, who in turn pay them for customer information, known as payment for order flow.\n“When you look at Robinhood, it’s the ultimate manifestation of the Silicon Valley model, right? You know, we are the products that are sold when you’re using Twitter, Gmail, etc.,” he said.\n“I have no doubt where this ends, right … for retail — I mean, in tears.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":315444215,"gmtCreate":1612274472937,"gmtModify":1703759688997,"author":{"id":"3573671273341085","authorId":"3573671273341085","name":"pausmiling","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/951f56129924e006a4c2184505cb4172","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573671273341085","authorIdStr":"3573671273341085"},"htmlText":"Agree","listText":"Agree","text":"Agree","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/315444215","repostId":1109554256,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":315573485,"gmtCreate":1612267839947,"gmtModify":1703759559363,"author":{"id":"3565133850047267","authorId":"3565133850047267","name":"therealp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8d09d4444f8072c72e950ca9c8dc044e","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3565133850047267","authorIdStr":"3565133850047267"},"htmlText":"niceee","listText":"niceee","text":"niceee","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/315573485","repostId":1109554256,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":315219369,"gmtCreate":1612256461851,"gmtModify":1703759332224,"author":{"id":"3575194624202783","authorId":"3575194624202783","name":"HelloSiang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f207ccc52a79482fa55c0fcb7038b05b","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575194624202783","authorIdStr":"3575194624202783"},"htmlText":"Cash
