Wow. What an excellent interview. Truly amazing hearing Marc's stories.

And 1 year later MiMedx printed 1.50. Good for you buddy - i'll be paying close attention from now on.

The most inspiring interview I've seen on RV so far!

Raw and direct, this is the real Big Short, but even better. Cohodes outshines Christian Bale and he’s not even acting...This is what it’s really like on the short side, big time. Cohodes is generous with some priceless analogies and quotes. A compelling study in finance, ethics, banking law and most importantly, character.

Great interview. The Goldman story goes to show you that it is all fun and games being a short until the shit hits the fan. You can make money shorting companies and going after lowlifes. You can NOT make money shorting the US government. Goldman is really an arm of the government. Banks are part of the government. They can shut down shorts immediately if they think shorts are profiting off the country (the system) going down. The government is not going to let some dude make money off their back. It really is a simple as that.

Very moving interview. What sort of legacy are you going to leave behind ?

Fantastic! Don't miss this one.

Amazing Interview.

That was very good.

What an interview... The different characters, the day to day traders with their short attention span, the unbreakable buoyancy of longs, the dark thoughts of the shorts, the patience of the macro fund managers and on and on, operating on the markets are such an intriguing band of colors. I've never seen someone really laying the perspective of the shorts out like that, it shows to me how everyone has their little place in the market, their niche, where their personality is reflected. Thanks RV, for showing all of them!

Fantastic interview!

Thanks Marc and Grant. Great interview. It was great to see inside the man. I loved hearing about the sleuthing. A man after my own heart. But I have only caught small fry con men.

Amazing !

Great interview Grant. Thank you!

Great interview indeed.

Outstanding interview with an exceptional human being.

What a straight shooter! Excellent interview!

Great Interview! I hope this follow up happens soon.

Great interview and looking forward to the follow-up! Much respect to these gentlemen and for the work they do.

Mark is a modern day stock market Batman. He absolutely needs to be Sherif of the SEC. Much respect.

The respect level has just gone from high to off the charts today.

Can't believe I let this one get by me for so long. Stared at the screen, listened and glistened with astonishment. Probably what a trip on LSD would feel like! A belated thanks to Grant and Marc!!!

Mr.Cohonies! Much respect. Probably the third time I’ve watched but it won’t be the last.

Great interview!

Great stuff! Thoroughly enjoyed that.

Good stuff

OMG I love this Guy , I think I have have a Mancrush ... lol , Wow ! opened my eyes on short sellers

51:20 - This guy's mouth is a scream. Love it.

Good shit. Really good shit! Many thanks

Fantastic!!!

Appreciate the straight talk. That's what sets RV apart.

Robin Hood thats the name. but marc cohodes gets salary to...

Thanks Marc & Grant! Very insightful, touching and thought provoking. Looking forward to the follow up!

Brilliant. Good work Grant.

Great interview. One of the best I have ever seen. Thank you!

One of the best interviews I have watched in a quite a while. Outstanding man!

What an inspiration. True Robin Hood...

I don't know Marc from Adam, and he doesn't know me. But, if I had to dislike him, it would be really hard to after watching this. What tremendous insight into the psyche of a short seller that's doing everything in their power to uncover fraudulent behavior. Great work, Grant and RV.

Inspiring interview and man. When I become discouraged about the world we live in, and the public figures running the asylum, I'll think of Marc Cahodes and people of his character, and feel some sense of hope. I'm blown away by him. Wow.

This was the best thing I've seen in 5 months. Thankyou.

Just an amazing interview. Looking into the secret vault. Thanks

Knaves and crooks and the fools that follow them. Every investor owes Marc Cohodes a thank you. Where were the auditors and why don’t they ever go to jail? Willful ignorance in spades. One determined skeptic sniffs out a hustle and yet the auditors somehow manage to whiff on the knuckleball that doesn’t flutter. Great stuff Grant & Marc.

but very insightful, have to admire the guy

ha this was gas

"I think Goldman Sachs is a racketeering entity...." (article quote from Marc. google it). So true. We are small. But we refuse to ever do business with these mafia racketeers.

Classic!

So so so so good. All time favorite

Well done!

Congratulations Marc. Just saw the share price - Just hope GS didn't make you buy them back at $17 last week.

"Jackpot" - Well done Marc, well done!

Bloomberg delivers a lovely backhander to Cohodes. Has the FBI been suborned by a company (NiMidex) that Cohodes has targeted? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-16/this-short-seller-pressed-tweet-then-the-fbi-showed-up

Great to hear such an honest heartonsleeve guy. More long winners pls

Re-watched this interview for the third time, still as captivating as the first..

One of the best interviews I have seen, period. To find someone so open and honest about their experiences shows it always pays to live by Winston Churchill's famous lines - Never, never Give up". Thanks Marc Cohodes for your insights!

Incredible interview! Fascinating, absolutely fascinating!

The latest Cohodes/Parker exchange on the $MDXG saga - a Periscope recording by Adam Feuerstein. Very entertaining! https://www.pscp.tv/adamfeuerstein/1jMJgdpabaMxL

Check out MDXG's response to Cohodes' allegations here https://mimedx.app.box.com/s/z6tybx6yi4d7p5mug7z6u6bljp520gqt

Amazing trend has surfaced... I love almost any interview by Grant or Mike Green. Get excited every time I see one coming on the newsletter. In contrast, while not naming names, there has been a certain recent series that sadly elicited the starkly opposite reaction. Hope the former trend continues!

quality and quantity. its not often you get that much value from a single piece - RV just keeps on improving.

Marc and you Grant you‘re just amazing guys. And yes Marc you should become THE SEC Chairman!

What an amazing and intriguing interview with many moments of raw emotion bubbling to the surface, great job Grant

This is a fantastic, well executed and ungimmicky interview of the first order. Bravo! I was shocked and touched to hear about the "house rules rape" incident. This is why short selling isn't for me. As Dan Drew said "He who sells what isn't his'n, must buy it back or go to prison." I prefer to hold longs. As Michael Green said in his first interview on RV, there is always a bull market in something. It doesn't have to be FB at 200. There could be a bull market in Vix, Ether, gold, default protection or the Swissie. There are even puts on MDXG..

Hands down.. Great Interview.

Fantastic interview!

I am touched by everyones comments and support. All I have ever wanted to do is to make a difference and move the needle. Grant and his Team are second to none and deserve all of the credit for putting this piece together. I look forward to doing his again one day.

As a "greenhorn" in the industry, I cannot emphasize how much I learn and thoroughly enjoy, truly transparent, no bullshit interviews like this one on Real Vision. As Grant mentioned, I acknowledge that I do not have a special skill set to be as successful as a short seller. However, it is beyond refreshing to see someone like Marc who is loyal to his morals and publicly acknowledges the realities of the industry that a lot of people are scared to do on platforms such as this or deny to acknowledge entirely. Interviews like this are the education/lessons you can never (and will never) be able to learn in a classroom. The boot-on-the-ground slap of reality that I am thankful to hear at such an early phase of my career. For that, I am grateful. Marc - I want to thank you for being a figure that young professional can aspire to be - someone who is true to themselves and doesn't sell their souls to the devil for success - and flips the bird to anyone who tries to attack that. Someone who preaches and takes “extreme ownership” of all aspect of life even when it is so easy and unpopular to do so. Hats off to you Marc (and Real Vision) as I know this interview will be one I reference continuously throughout my own career.

This was the kind of thing that I want from Realvision. I don’t care about fancy editing, strange camera angles, makeup, wardrobes, rapid segues. I hugely appreciated Grant’s applied curiosity in the unfolding of Marc’s story. And I am greedy. I did an online search and found the following on youtube: “This Home Capital story didn't make it into the final cut of the Marc Cohodes interview on Real Vision, so you'll sure as hell want to see what did. Listen to Marc Cohodes on Real Vision and become a better investor: http://rvtv.io/2oiHI2f .” -- very worth watching, leaving me with the question of why it was not included in the version posted on Realvision. I am not the first person to suggest that maybe it would be useful to post two versions – one with the editing to focus on the points deemed most valuable and a second with minimal or no editing. And I am quibbling; this was excellent.

Thanks to RV and Marc for doing this. Often good trading is described as being unemotional and detached. I've never seen a trader / investor who is so passionate and emotional about what he is doing. That's truly inspirational.

Unlike most of the face-to-face interviews, it was brilliantly alive involving continuous (and simple) story telling but full of valuable information till the end. Listened to a few times.

RV just raised the bar again. Awesome. Well done Grant and team.

That was a brilliant interview, really learned something from Marc there. Thank you Grant and the rest of the RV team for this!

This was an awesome interview. Thank you Marc.

I think this was one of the best interviews I have seen, well done.

anyone have the ticker for the wig CEO ETF :)

One of the best interviews so far. Great content and a cautionary tale about GS.

Fantastic!

Wow. Content and presentation so well done. Kudos. Goldman forcing shorts to cover probably allowed them / their clients to unload shit stocks before they collapsed.

this firm production is such an art.

Truly inspirational! Fantastic interview.

This was fantastic, it reminded me of the Harry Markopolos interview on RV. I love it when good people in the Finance world go after the bad guys. The world today unfortunately rewards criminals and this was great to see.

You own me with this masterpiece; I skipped dinner and never felt so fulfilled. Thank you both and please do follow up again as suggested.

to Marc: i am 46 but happy to do an apprenti

Disappointed you didn't ask him any hard questions which may have been more insightful

Why i am a Realvision subscriber...

Thank you for this RV.

Amazing interview

You may not have THAT skill set Grant, but you have another which is in every way just as effective and noteworthy! This guy is the Real Deal and one bad Whammer Jammer....and he got taken down in 2008 by what I can only assume were the “Powers that Be”. Ah....Green Mountain Coffee....trying to explain to my wife why I seemed to be so “Blue” that day....everything going just Peachy and then...and then...over the airways...Coca Cola gets involved and “there she blows” up up and away....with the toughest part being that I actually knew that the GM guy was a former Coca Cola executive...just sort of slipped my mind I guess....

Best interview and setup ever. Keep doing exactly that guys!

Bravo, encore S'il vous plait Grant!!

Fascinating! A truly great interview Grant; one of the best I have seen on Real TV. I was glued to the screen. Some great insights there...... when you're right, you don't always win. But there's always another battle. Shorting a few index ETFs seems hardly worth it, now I've seen the real deal. Inspirational. More of this stuff mate!

I am very grateful to Marc for the information I learned from this interview. Marc and other interviewers deserve more respect in the comment section. I would like to suggest that a General Comment Section be linked from the Interview Comments to discuss issues like language used in an interview and language norms in the comments. This will focus interview comments toward financial comments and away from personal comments. I would also suggest that RV should retain and use the right to delete inappropriate comments from any interview comments. DLS

Hello, I am currently in high school and while these videos are fascinating, much of the information goes over my head. Do any videos cover some more fundamental investment principles so that I could get a better understanding of the basics? If not, are there any resources you would recommend?

Bravo!! I really appreciated Marc's unvarnished candor & fearlessness to publicly and unequivocally share his views. So many people hedge themselves when they speak, whereas Marc didn't waiver at all. Such a rare quality indeed.

Possibly best interview so far! Marc you are a true legend! Were you able to press charges against Goldman? All the best and hopefully you can run the SEC one day!

Fabulous interview! I was having a shitty day but Marc's recounting of his experiences, his unabashed, unapologetic vernacular, and his social justice motivation turned my mood right around. I'd invest with Marc. Thanks, Grant, for a great piece!

Looking in as an observer I have to say that this interview has raised the barrier with what RV are capable of. Grant has nailed his interviewing techniques (he has always been good) but the way he is able to interact and flow made this discussion superb, so nice one Grant. Marc gave up a lot in this interview, and I cannot help think that if someone else had led this on then we would have not got so " deep". I am always interested in folk who have their own courage of convictions, and do the right thing when they know that the " bad guys" are at it with other folks money, and care nothing of the consequences. I think it was Hugh Hendry who once said that he could tell the Emperor he had no clothes! I think Marc has taken that a little further now, and has just included the Emperors whole family. Absolutely nailed this guys, Thank you.

By far the best interview ever!! So many lessons packed in the 80mins. Thank you!!!

I’m never, ever, ever going to make Goldman my Prime after that.

Manners maketh man. And he's not one of them.

Dear Americans, the correct term is "I COULDN'T care less" In that, you care so little about the topic that it's impossible to care less about it.....so you "couldn't care less". The term "I could care less" is idiotic. If you could care less........well think think about it.....it's a moronic thing to say.

Fantastic interview Grant!

I fully agree with David S's take on the Goldman story. It is a cautionary tale that has more future relevance than a historical lesson. What were the "house rules" that allowed Goldman (GS) to unilaterally change the rules of the game over a weekend to make an immediate margin call of 700 million? What was the specific language in their account agreement that allowed this to happen? This is relevant because when the next financial crisis comes, and come it will, the "vampire squids" of the world will again claim the right to change the margin requirements from 30% to 70% without written notice and without time to cure the "default" and raise the money? I would assume that Marc no longer does business with GS and further does not sign the standard boilerplate account agreement offered by financial firms that allowed a travesty like this to happen?

Very good content - more of the same please. Grant is a great interviewer

Wow....Grant is such a great interviewer. One of the best interviews and subject matter I've watched on RealVision. Thank you so much Grant!

apprenticeship for free, so pls let me know about availabilities...really really great ! thank you

i have been an original subs to rvtv and this video summed it up as Grant said: it’s about knowledge and not the short term trade idea. i have goose bumps after watching this. to Marc: i am 46 but hap

Very painful!! I win by seeing this and knowing that shorting stocks isn’t for me. I will hold my short on the dow but acknowledge that it scares me.

Best interview I have seen on Real Vision. Mr. Cohodes is one straight shooter. The SEC could not handle such a truth teller and truth hero. Cheers!

I have never commented much on anything on the internet :) I am no great investor or investment professional either, it is all more of an interest and a hobby! But this one blew me away too! Enough to put this comment and say kudos Grant and RV!

By far the best interview on Real Vision . Long time follower.

Outstanding......World Class.....Art

A person who speaks his mind so fearlessly in public on controversial subjects is as rare as, well, Donald Trump. If Trump were to see this, he would probably hire Mark to help clean the swamp. Thank you RVTV.

So nice to see someone with his passion be brutally honest about his mistakes. The investment world would be so much better if he ran the SEC, but we all know that would never happen. I wish you had asked him if he would ever deal with Goldmans again. I really enjoyed your interview and am curious what else was discussed that didn’t make it into the interview. Glenn

Best ever. I like how he stays focused and motivated. By the way, you spelled Cajones wrong.

My first RVTV comment. Most enlightening, educational, captivating interview ever. Great work and thanks to Mr. Cohodes.

I could not stop watching this - fascinating!

Truly fascinating. Really really enjoyed this one.

Wow! A very frank, thoughtful and powerful interview - simply brilliant!

so this mean we can write fuck and shit in the comments?

best interview I've ever seen in my life

This is Award worthy journalism!

Meanwhile, Hey Grant, please return my KIA that you borrowed the other day and take back that Porsche of yours..

This was a truly engrossing 82 minutes.

This interview has stuck with me the last few days. Honest, real, and deeply educational for investors. A masterpiece of financial journalism. Thank you to Marc and Grant.

Brilliant. More please of this quality of depth and meaning. I was beginning to doubt after skimming through 'World On The Brink', which, frankly was portentous and shallow. There may have been useful insights, but they were lost. And then we have this masterpiece. The extended interview format works with a person who has something to say. Thanks

As an original subscriber I have never felt the need to comment on the great content provided by RVTV. However I am compelled to say that I think this interview is your best. Thank you,

I hereby rename thee.., MARK COHONES! Massive Balls & Conviction = Massive Payoff.

Awesome interview

Goldman story was staggering. It shows the intermediary counterparty risk - Goldman - was worse than the Fed risk. Does Marc use Goldman now, if not when did he close his accounts. Similar to the Stephen Diggle interview discussing counterparty risk and how hard it was to get his firm's money in the big meltdown. Being right is only the beginning. DLS

Cohodes has serious cohones! What an interview. Without a doubt, one of RVTV best to date.

Man this is an epic interviwe

Marc is the fuckin' man. Thank you for this excellent interview, Grant!

Great interview Grant! Would have loved to hear a little of his run it with Buffet on HCG. Goldman deeper in the swamp.

Here's how mimedx responds to the short sellers: https://www.mimedx.com/content/short-selling-commentary

Thats why i subscribe!! Awesome Grant..

What an amazing interview - best i’ve seen on RV. Thank you Marc and Grant. Marc you have my vote.

Excellent. This is a great, honest interview. The person, the experience, the thought process, the motivations, the emotions are all there. Thanks. DLS

Fascinating interview, really well done. Two thumbs up. RVTV should probably institute NSFW or E(xplicit) tagging on content like this - I can imagine some viewers frantically reaching for the mute button in the office or in the car. Perhaps that's where the down votes came from? One question I missed was any discussion about position sizing, something often asked of other guests in the past.

This may just be the best piece RVTV has ever produced. Superb all round.

Wont see anything like that on regular TV. Ever. Cheers.

Terrific interview!! Marc has my vote for the SEC and Grant is such an engaging interviewer. Keep it up guys

I love that Grant rolls up in a KIA. Mind those expenses!

Great interview. Need more of this. Thank you RV!

Top 5 of all time

Fascinating. Should be released to a wider audience as a documentary.

Exceptional interview!

Damn. Goldman was such a fucker. It is a bloody criminal.

UNBELIEVEABLE !!! The best 1 hr 22 spent watching anything this year, by far. Grant, congratulations on an amazing production and interview! Instantly a RealVision classic. That truly was the treat worth waiting for the past few weeks. Marc, thank you so much for your candid interview and insight into how you view your approach to investing. I have viewed your Grant's presentations - really enjoyed them - but loved and appreciated the approach you took with this conversation. I will remember the "lifeguard approach" for life, no doubt. Sharing what happened to your firm in 2008 was truly touching and proof positive that the "smart money" doesn't always win. I have been short $MDXG right alongside you and may have to double up my position on Monday. As a 41 year old shortseller who called it right on $SUNE but painfully missed out on the big money, I thank you both for this outstanding conversation. You are an inspiration for shortselling generations to come - the genetic mutation is alive and well! Thank you!

The RV I like! Thanks Grant

Wow. Just great. And a reminder of how the banks will (and can) f*** you over when SHTF. Counterparty risk is never real, until the day it is.

Without a doubt one of the best interviews this year, Well done Grant. I have to admire Marc's conviction and forthright attitude and I would also vote for him to run the SEC.

Excellent. More like this.

Loved it too, but Grant is driving a Kia?

So good! I think Grant conscously rented a Kia so we dont judge him :)

1st came across Marc when i was long dumpster fire Concordia, he saved me a lot for $ and been a hige fan ever since. Great guy, great interview, thanks RV, very much enjoyed and glad others now know

Outstanding! On par with the Market Wizards interviews!

Riveting interview. I hope Marc's comments give the "Squid" at least a few sleepless nights. If there is any man alive they should fear it is him.

One of the best interviews ive seen. Authentic view of how difficult it is to be a short seller.

Great Interview, one of my all time favourites on RVTV.

Outstanding contribution; appalling betrayal of a long-term client by the great vampire squid.

This might be the best video you've ever done

Just the best! Great work Grant and thanks to Marc for sharing his philosophy, insights and reasons for shorting stocks. However, I’ll be going long on chooks! (chickens)

Congratulations RVTV, Grant and Marc, I really enjoyed this. What an interesting life/ career Marc has had. Seems like an authentic person with a ton of integrity and great insight. I love guys like this, from 'the street' and educated by 'the street' (either Wall or the street at large). Calls a spade a shovel and won't back down from a nice old dust up. I appreciated Marcs honesty and genuine emotion during the conversation. Short selling is a lonely endeavour, even when you're right, no one thanks you (really)... We can learn a lot from fantastic characters like this and the experiences that they share. Keep them coming Grant / RVTV... this is why we subscribe! MR

The more I listen to Real Vision, the more I am beginning to believe the best guys are plain spoken guys.

10/10!

Damn.

was hoping he would comment about whether he was short any sectors or markets in todays environment.

Fantastic interview, probably the best on RVTV. The only thing that could top this would be an hour with Jim Chanos.

respect! Loved it!

Grant. I am an original RVTV subscriber. I have watched most of the videos over the years. This was the best one yet. It was definitely Marc, who is a dynamic individual, but you were brilliant too. You are doing a great job! Thank you.

Loved Marc's metaphor that "crazy" is like a knuckle ball. When it's working, you can't touch it. When it's not working, you can powder the [expletive] thing. Top class financial reporting, thank you.

This was superb. Loved every second of it. Best part was the painful 2008 story Marc shared with us. Marc has a knack for identifying the BAD guys.

Grant-Spectacular! Marc-I almost cried listening to your 2008 story and I didn't have to live it! Sold my MDXG weeks ago for a triple and don't even care that it was once a quadruple. Thanks for doing this interview. To the six who voted thumbs down, were half of you the three who didn't vote Griffey Jr. a first ballot HOFer?

Very good! A movie can be made on Mr. Cohodes, he seems like a brilliant guy that doesn't take fools gladly.Probably the biggest pain to work for a guy like that but you would turn out a star if you lived !!

Absolutely superb interview with an exceptionally intriguing personality. Also fabulous production values. Easily one of the best RV interviews yet -- and the bar was already set extremely high. I am really looking forward to future installments in this series.

Grant u have outdone yourself! IMO best video of 2017 for a short seller like myself! IMO short sellers are always seeking the truth & looking out for others. Marc, my heart broke for u with those dirty bankers (that is one story from hell) & your childhood. I wish you success & happiness in all u do! U would make a great regulator if u plan to go that route. Merry Christmas to all my fellow RV subscribers!

Great interview. The emotional toll and the ups and downs are rarely talked about.

Bravo Grant, thanks Marc

I can listen to guys like him all day!

Grant, Great interview with Marc Cohodes. I respect his process and his integrity, which some short-sellers lack.

That watch top notch. Will watch again

You can't fake authenticity. This was great, thank you guys.

Perhaps top 3 Professioinals in the world .... one of the best and interesting interviews in your history ... a kool guy indeed. VS

An extraordinary interview on so many levels; content, visuals, production values, to name a few. Getting a great understanding of Marc’s thought process and investment philosophy would have made it superb, but being provided with a glimpse of him as ‘person’, made the interview very special indeed, and a must watch. So, thank you Marc; and well-done Grant for an outstanding job.
