NEW YORK: Muddy Waters Research founder Carson Block on Wednesday will launch Zer0es TV, an internet video channel dedicated to informing investors about the mechanics and processes of short-selling. A promotional video for the new channel, which will be free, said short-selling needs to be explained in detail so that investors can understand the issues and make decisions about how to protect themselves. "This is the information that nobody else in the marketplace has any incentive to give you, except for activist short sellers," Block said on the video. Short sellers such as Block do extensive research on companies they think are over-valued or have engaged in fraudulent practices. The strategy entails borrowing stock to sell, then buying it back later at a lower price for a profit. RealVision.com, a website dedicated to investing through the use of video, will be the production arm for Zer0es TV, which will have both live and pre-recorded content, said Stefan Prelog, a … [Read more...] about Muddy Waters’ Carson Block to roll out internet TV channel for short selling

How To Watch The Golden Globes Online And On TV
The 78th Golden Globes air on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT live on NBC , with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler returning to host for the first time since they hosted three ceremonies in row from 2013-2015. They return to a show that will be unlike any other thanks to the coronavirus restrictions, which will see Fey hosting from New York’s Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center and Poehler from the Globes’ usual locale the Beverly Hilton simultaneously. Presenters mostly will be on hand at either venue, but nominees will be staying at home for the three-hour ceremony, which will be available online at NBC.com/live with authentication and stream the next day on NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service. The show will also be available on NBC via Roku, AT&T TV, Fubo TV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

1 person is dying of COVID-19 every 7 minutes in Iran: State TV
DUBAI: One person is dying from COVID-19 every seven minutes in Iran, state television said on Monday (Aug 3), as the Health Ministry reported 215 new deaths from the disease and state media warned of a lack of proper social distancing. Health Ministry spokesman Sima Sadat Lari was quoted by the state TV as saying the 215 deaths in the past 24 hours took the combined death toll to 17,405 in Iran, and the number of confirmed cases rose by 2,598 to 312,035.
