BEAR TRAPS: How Tesla Could Smash the Index Fund Debate Wide Open - July 7, 2020
Josh Brown - The Compound - I asked my friend Larry McDonald to come on ahead of Tesla's Q2 earnings report because this could be the quarter that makes the stock's S&P 500 inclusion inevitable.

In this conversation with New York Times best-selling author and The Bear Traps Report founder Larry McDonald, Cuban explores the eerie similarities between that market and today’s. They also discuss the reopening for the NBA and beyond, Cuban’s economic outlook amid unprecedented uncertainty, and the current political situation in the U.S. that has many asking, “When will Mark Cuban run for president?”
