Customer Reviews

The new edition is better than the previous two

These guys have provided the new update that was needed. I made money on the first edition, but there have been some changes and they have covered them. Morgan came out with a report saying pretty much the same thing a couple of months back.It would be hard to lose money if you take the book's advice per the report. This book really gets you through the technical stuff with ease. Money well spent.

Absolutely Terrific Introduction into Bankruptcy Investing

Great introduction and overview of the world of distressed and bankruptcy investing. The authors managed to synthesize a very complicated subject into an easy-to-read and understandible book. Of course no one book can cover the entire subject in detail, but this one comes amazingly close. Highly recommended.

Fabulous book

This book has everything I needed to make money in this market. They do need to update their data and bring it forward, but the analysis is first rate and the methodology was very new to me although quite understandable in plain english for someone without a law degree or an mba. I now understand what is going on here and I can see how the vulture investors get the large returns. I reread the first part after several months of buying and it all still held together. Interesting and moneymaking as well.

The premiere book on the subject

As a bankruptcy lawyer, I have read many of the books out there. But I haven't seen one better than this. Professionals and non-professionals should use the book as a checklist for evaluating bankruptcies. Written in common-sense language, it gives the "inside" details on what you REALLY need to know to tell whether a bankruptcy is a good investment.

easy to understand

This is the easiest of these books on distressed investing to understand. There are some real fundamental concepts that have already made me some money that are set out here in plain language.
