Book Reviews of Distress Investing: Principles and Technique (Wiley Desktop Editions)

Book Review: Best book on the subject
Summary: 5 Stars

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
