It's not easy being one of the world's most-famous short-sellers.
As Jim Chanos knows, it takes thick skin to deal with daily negative backlash, and, of course, markets storming "parabolically" higher over the past few years.
But now the tides are turning, and rather dramatically, according to the 64-year-old Wall Street veteran. In fact, since September 2021, investors have been slowly waking up to misleading accounting practices among the world's most highly valued firms, and their share prices have plunged accordingly.
And while Chanos is adamant his market predictions should be taken with a grain of salt, he notes that there continue to be several well-loved companies, Tesla included, that still could have a long way further to fall.
"We have a number of US$100 stocks that we think are probably worthless, because the business model is broken, and yet they are reporting numbers that are not real," he says.So which companies could be misleading investors today? In this exclusive Livewire interview, you'll get an inside look at the legendary short seller's view on markets, as well as some of the global companies that Chanos considers to be posting fraudulent financial figures and could be in for a rude awakening over the months to come.
