Delivering Alpha: Carson Block & Activist Short-Selling 9/28/22

Joe Kernen and Becky Quick are on site at CNBC’s 2022 Delivering Alpha Investors Summit, where they interview Muddy Waters CIO Carson Block about his firm’s short-selling thesis, his mission to call out fraudulent businesses, and the difference between “fake” and “real” ESG companies. CNBC’s Jim Cramer and David Faber join to discuss the Fed’s fight against inflation, and global threats to the markets–including Russia’s offensive in Ukraine and the Bank of England’s big bond buy. Plus, protests, internet blackouts, and violence rock Iran as citizens challenge the country’s morality police. Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Middle East Program Karim Sadjadpour discusses internet access and Elon Musk’s Starlink activation in Iran amid the unrest.
