All right, guys, thanks so much.

Welcome to Closing Bell.

I'm Scott Wapner, live today from the 31st Sone Conference here in New York City.

An annual event that raises money to fight pediatric cancer, and CNBC is so proud to be affiliated with this great cause.

We do have an exciting hour ahead of us today, some very special guests.

Fame shortseller, Jim Chanos, will join me momentarily right here.

Greenlights, David Einhorn, Avenue Capitals, Mark Lazzery,

and the great software investor Orlando Bravo of Toma Bravo,

all along and just a bit with their best investing ideas right now.

I'll show you the scorecard here with 60 to go in regulation

because the market

picture has changed a little bit at least. The Dow has gone green. Elsewhere, we are struggling a bit

as we do begin this final hour. That hotter than expected inflation read is a weight today,

especially on the NASDAQ, which is down one and a quarter percent. You saw the Russell was weaker as well. S&P, NASDAQ, have been at record high. So tech's pulling back a bit, and that's where we do begin. This record run for stocks and the takes of some of the world's most notable investors. Let's bring one in. Jim Chanos is the Chanos and company founder and president. Good to have you back. Welcome.

Good to be back, Scott.

You told me this is your first was in 2000, your first Sown conference.

Why do you keep coming back?

Well, it's an amazing, and I want to apologize for my voice being out a little bit.

It's an amazing conference for an amazing agency.

I've been happy to be involved.

I did their first London conference back about 15 years ago and then did a number of

conferences for them 25 or so years ago.
