How to avoid investing in companies like Enron

If you haven’t listened to the previous episode with Bethany
McLean on the fall of Enron then please do. Because in this short
episode we speak to fund manager Juan Torres Rodrigues, who
interviewed Bethany.


We pick up some of the points Bethany makes throughout the pod
and discuss some of the techniques Juan uses when he invests to
try to avoid investing in companies such as Enron.


You can listen to the other two episodes in our short-selling
series:


Enron: the anatomy of a scandal in the words of the woman who
broke the story


Muddying the waters: the story of an activist short seller


Everything you ever wanted to know about short selling but were
afraid to ask
