Block addresses criticisms of short-selling in general, dispels widely held misconceptions about activist shorts, and reveals how he goes about targeting companies to place short bets on. Block shares a few anecdotes from companies he has shorted in the past and reveals his thoughts about what the future of the short-selling industry might be.
