Muddy Waters’ Carson Block Says It’s Not the Time to Short Big Tech

It’s not the time to bet against the biggest US technology names, according to short-seller Carson Block, even as warnings rise about a potential bubble in artificial intelligence.

“I would much rather be long than be short in this market,” Block, chief executive officer of Muddy Waters Capital, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “If you’re out there trying to short Nvidia or any of these big tech names, you’re not going to be in business very long.”
