Brandon Kochkodin is my guest on this show to cover GameStop and Brandon’s claim that naked shorts don’t exist in the market. Brandon, a seasoned writer for Forbes, takes us on a journey through the GameStop Saga and its connection to the Wall Street Bets community.
Moving beyond the headlines, the conversation delves into the contentious topic of short interest and naked short selling. Brandon challenges prevailing notions, revealing the complexities of tracking naked short selling and suggesting that it may not be as widespread as some believe. We explore the challenges of detecting this elusive practice, drawing parallels to observing a black hole in space. Brandon underscores the ongoing debate and skepticism surrounding the prevalence of naked short selling in the financial markets.
The podcast also delves into cases of market manipulation and hedge funds settling under a cloud of secrecy.
