Charlie Gasparino and S3 Partners Founder Bob Sloan break down the biggest business headlines and actionable insights that give listeners an inside edge on the markets.
Charlie Gasparino of Fox News and NY Post and S3's founder and managing partner Bob Sloan on the leverage fight behind the $110B Warner Bros. Discovery deal — and the short unwind in the biggest IPO on record.
Bob reveals SpaceX shorts have covered hard since the August 6 unlock — 40 million shares in two days, roughly a fifth of the position — after S3 called the print at 210M shares against an actual 206M. Bob breaks down potential boxed positions, why the average short is still in the money, and the 2 billion shares of unlock stacked up between now and November.
PLUS Charlie's Post reporting: David Ellison is weighing moving CBS News out of New York, with Atlanta in the mix, as Rob Bonta and Letitia James lead a state AG coalition trying to block the Warner deal. With a per-day ticking fee running against him and the AGs pushing trial to March, Charlie explains why people close to Paramount think the exit threat is the strongest card they've got — and what a combined CBS-CNN newsroom would actually mean.
Then Bob takes it to the data. Plus two bullish short-interest setups into earnings and why space keeps pulling in retail capital the way nothing else does.
