Distressed Debt Analysis: Strategies for Speculative Investors

12 reviews
Stephen G. Moyer

J. Ross Publishing, 2004

Great & Comprehensive Practical Review
Unlike many academic books, this is a practical analysis of distressed debt, the bankruptcy process, and all the related financial, accounting and valuation issues that arise in this context. It is well written and well organized. Some other books on the topic go into significantly more detail in esoteric issues; however this book is a must for a grounded detailed understanding of the topic. ...

Dana Neal

Paladin Press, 2006

Empowering, excellent book
Dana Neal's Best Credit is an excellent read and provides not only information on how improve your credit score and overall credit information, it also sets the right tone for understanding the whole credit process. The fact that the credit bureaus are merely companies and not government agencies, that are in business to profit, was something I had not really understood before. That consumers ...

The Law of Debtors And Creditors: Text, Cases, And Problems

2 reviews
Elizabeth Warren, Jay Lawrence Westbrook

Aspen Publishers, 2005

More engaging than my teacher.
As a student, this was probably the best textbook I've ever used. The authors presented the material in an engaging way that brings out the relevance, controversy, and centrality of creditor/debtor/bankruptcy law in the life of almost every American. I never thought I'd say this about a textbook, but it's a great read.

Standard & Poor's Fundamentals of Corporate Credit Analysis

Blaise Ganguin, John Bilardello

McGraw-Hill, 2004

A Definitive Book On Setting Corporate Analysis Policy
I had the pleasure of working with one of the authors 15 years ago. But don't let that sway you. I truly appreciate the scope and effort put into this book. We will use it as an outline for how our analysts should approach analyzing a credit. Chapter 3 alone is worth the price of admission as the authors list the elusive "qualitative" factors that go into a credit rating, beyond what the ratios ...

Bankruptcy And Debtor/creditor: Examples And Explanations (Examples & Explanations)

Brian A. Blum

Aspen Publishers, 2006

The right tools
If you are taking an introductory course in Bankruptcy, get a copy of this book - And use it! If your course also includes Chapter 11 Reorganizations, I would also recommend that you get a copy of Chapter Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers. They are useful before exams. But I recommend getting them at the start of the semester.

Debt Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About

Kevin Trudeau

Equity Press, 2007

Don't fall for the infomercial!
I don't usually listen to television advertising, but this sounded really good. I fell for the whole thing and called this morning. I was really turned off by the sales person who relentlessly tried to sell me one thing after another. I should have retracted my order and hung up. Instead, after finishing my order, I went online and checked the reviews-which I should have done first. After ...

Corporate Financial Distress and Bankruptcy: Predict and Avoid Bankruptcy, Analyze and Invest in Distressed ...

2 reviews
Edward I. Altman, Edith Hotchkiss

Wiley, 2005

More relevant than you think.
Most people in the investing world don't read this book. But they should. It's a textbook so not something to breeze through at the beach. However, the techniques described in the book are very applicable to any company, not just those in disress or bankruptcy. In fact I did some work on EMC many years ago when they *appeared* to be growing rapidly but in reality they were getting into ...

LegalPub.com, Inc., 2008

Barren Federal Bankruptcy Statute without the Analysis, Commentary, Context, Examples, or Explanation
Although legal novices may find it difficult to digest 454 pages of federal statutory law, some readers will find this book to be a useful resource. But, some may also wonder why the publisher neglected to find a current or former federal legislator or staffer to at least attempt to clarify some of the confusing aspects of the legislature's intent and/or lack of coherent intent. While recent ...

The Two-Income Trap

Elizabeth Warren, Amelia Warren Tyagi

Basic Books, 2004

A sobering but worthwhile read
Back in the mid to late 60s, average real income in the U.S., which is just economic terminology for income adjusted for inflation, started to decline for the first time. Once that trend gets started in a country, for whatever reason, it's almost impossible to reverse, as any economic historian will tell you. Now, forty years later, the impact of that dire trend is here for all to see. The ...

One of the best!!!!!
What a great read! To say that this book is Educational & Entertaining does not do it justice. The author takes you into a world of high finance and even higher stakes as companies hang in the balance & investors fight for profits. The author does a great job of taking a very, very complex business and breaking it down so that most readers can understand the world of "Vulture ...

Foundation Press, 2005

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
well, it's bankruptcy -- how much can i say? personally i think there was too much discussion about previous manifestations of the code. any book will be like that i assume. honestly though -- if you're reading this you've probably been told to buy it by your professor so it doesn't matter what i say. if you're a professor deciding which text to use, i doubt i'm the best resource.
