Dragon Fodder and Going “APE” 8/22/22

CNBC
About this episode

In the latest chapter of meme stock mania, AMC’s shares are tanking, and the company is getting creative to raise capital. As Americans await a potential decision on the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness, CNBC’s Sharon Epperson reports that many fear the policy could worsen inflation. Cryptocurrencies may be as volatile as ever, but investor and bull Anthony Scaramucci considers Larry Fink’s and BlackRock’s change of heart on the asset to be a good sign for the entire industry. Plus, HBO has a lot riding on its new series, “House of the Dragon,” Julia Boorstin reports.
