5.0 out of 5 stars
Great writings of risk arbitrage
Pitaro obviously knows what she's doing. In her thorough discussion, Pitaro helped me to understand the basics of investing in deals. It's a first-class discussion of arbitrage. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make money with low risk.

Could have been better
In little less than 100 pages ( plus 85 pages for the appendix ) this book runs over the basics and history of arbitrage investing but it doesn't really go much into the thought process of arbitrage. The latter half of the book contains an appendix which contains infomation ( eg. price, profit, returns) of companies that were recommeded in the Gabelli arbitrage...

This review is from: Deals...Deals...and More Deals (Hardcover)
In little less than 100 pages ( plus 85 pages for the appendix ) this book runs over the basics and history of arbitrage investing but it doesn't really go much into the thought process of arbitrage.The latter half of the book contains an appendix which contains infomation ( eg. price, profit, returns) of companies that were recommeded in the Gabelli arbitrage newsletter but no opinions on how the deals transpired or the research that was done to arrive at these recommendations. There's so little written about arbitrage investing that this book could have taken adavantage of it since Pitaro has years of experience with Mario Gabelli. This book could have contained informative stories rather than just be another book explaining the definition of arbitrage investing.

Some obvious mistakes, crucial omissions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deals...Deals...and More Deals (Hardcover)
I learned from this book, and don't wish to seem churlish, but there are some obvious goof-ups that any good editor would have caught. For example, J.P. Morgan was "John Pierpont," Morgan -- his first name was not James, desspite what you'll read here.Also, it was Theodore Roosevelt who enjoyed the popular reputation as "The Trust Buster," not his successor, Taft. In general, don't trust the early historical portion of this book. I would have liked to see much more discussion of the public policy consequences of the phenomena Pitaro is discussing. For example, what should people in the other 49 states think about Delaware's dominant influence in the field of corporate law? |
