5.0 out of 5 stars Timely Release, May 27, 2009
This review is from: Distress Investing: Principles and Technique (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)
Fernando Diz and Martin Whitman's Distress Investing is a practical tool to both beginner and experienced investors. Today's worldwide economic downturn has created attractive investments for distressed investors which makes this book a timely release. Distress Investing guides the reader step by step from defining distressed debt to valuation. Understanding creditor's rights and bankruptcy law allow distressed investors to capitalize on investments that are overlooked by individuals who are not knowledgeable of their securities' rights. In addition, it offers insight into many of Martin Whitman's strategies that he has employed during his long successful career of investment finance. Distress Investing is well written and provides excellent examples that make it an easy read. I would recommend this book to any individual looking to expand their knowledge base beyond equities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the subject, August 14, 2009
By Mariusz Skonieczny "Author" (ClassicValueInvestors.blogspot.com) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Distress Investing: Principles and Technique (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)
I picked up this book because with the current economic crisis, it seems like anywhere I turn I am finding incredible deals. This book, however, focuses on distressed debt which is not specifically my specialty, but I definitely learned a lot from it.

The author discusses topics such as Chapter 11 reorganization, securities' rights, and the workout process. Because these special situations add another complexity level to investing, there is not that much competition from institutional investors so the opportunities for above average returns are plentiful. I would recommend this book to serious investors.

- Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market

4.0 out of 5 stars The Basics for Bankruptcy Investing, July 17, 2009
By James East (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Distress Investing: Principles and Technique (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)
First it should be noted that this book is not for the casual weekend investor but for the more serious investor willing to get their hands a little dirty. Also, much like Mr. Whitman's classic book "Aggressive Conservative Investor", this book too is not necessarily set up to read in series or chronologically as one can if one wishes to start with sections that interest them the most. Also like the aforementioned classic, this book also provides considerable space devoted to describing the real world faced by both the outsiders and the insiders with respect to where their interests and incentives are most likely set. Understanding the viewpoints of both the insiders, whether corporate management or the directors, and the outsiders, whether control investors, the banker, the financier, the short-term traders, or that of the outside passive investor will help you along your way in understanding what may be happening in the market and why. Why? - because one needs to understand the view of the interested parties perspective and that one may temporarily have leverage over the other.

With that cautionary note, the reader can gain some great insights into the somewhat hidden world of how the bankruptcy process works. With the ample examples and historical perspective that the authors bring to the table, the reader will gain more understanding of what is going on versus what one may read in the daily headlines of the pre-filing, or the post-filing, of the bankruptcy proceedings.

All in this book provides one with some safeguards in regards to what to invest in and what to look out for while investigating distressed opportunities. "Distressed Investing" also still sticks to the Safe & Cheap philosophy advocated by both the authors and from the framework of Benjamin Graham.
