Chanos also discloses his largest long positions: Sandisk, Deere, KKR, and VMWare.  He goes onto warn viewers that those longs are mostly to offshet shorts so he would not encourage folks to follow him blindly into some of the investments since they are only getting half of the picture. 

In the next video he goes on to discuss his short positions in Dell and Hewlett-Packard.  He says they have a small long position in Samsung and Apple and are held against some good sized short positions in Dell and Hewlett-Packard.
