Summary

In the wake of the 2008 financial collapse, hundreds of China-based companies merged with American shell companies. Many of those companies reported assets and revenues out of line with their actual value. And investors were left holding the bag. That’s the subject of a new documentary, The China Hustle. On this week’s show, Chris talks with director Jed Rothstein. And best-selling author Daniel Levitin shares some thoughts from his book, The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload. Thanks to LegalZoom for supporting The Motley Fool.  Get special savings by going to www.legalzoom.com and use the promo code “Fool” at checkout.
