This book covers distress investing from theoretical underpinnings to practical applications. It features cases studies of some of the biggest distress investing situations including Kmart and Pacific Gas Electric. From the recent changes to U.S. bankruptcy code to creditor rights to cash bailouts, readers will learn how to analyze distressed situations including pricing issues, arbitrage opportunities, political and tax disadvantages to deal expenses and reorganization funding plans.

- Inside the Black Box: The Simple Truth About Quantitative Trading
501
Inside the Black Box explains how quantitative and algorithmic trading strategies work in non-mathematical terms supplemented by anecdotes and real-world stories. There is a large chasm in the understanding of what quants do with quants often perpetuating the darkness by cloaking even trivial facts about their strategies and operations in secrecy. Most of their strategies are understandable and with that understanding investment professionals can better assess a particular fund's value. The book also explains how quant strategies fit into a portfolio, why they are valuable, and how to evaluate a quant manager. How do quants capture alpha? What is the real level of discretion in quant trading? What is the difference between theory-driven systems vs. data-mining strategies? What are the typical structures of quant systems? How do quants model risk? How do you know if it works? What are execution algorithms?
- The Risk of Trading: Mastering the Most Important Element in Financial Speculation
536
The Risk of Trading takes an in-depth look at the challenges traders have in regards to one of the most critical facets of trading: risk management. The book takes a magnifying look at risk that every trader needs to have and understand in order to be successful in trading. Most traders look at risk in terms of a "stop-loss" that enables them to exit a losing trade quickly. In The Risk of Trading, Michael Toma explains that risk is ever-present in every aspect of trading and advocates that traders adopt a more comprehensive view of risk that encompasses the strategic trading plan; account size; drawdowns; maximum possible losses; psychological capital; and crisis management. He advocates that traders conduct a detailed statistical analysis of their methodology through backtesting and real-time results so as to identify when the methodology may be breaking down in actual trading. Ultimately, Toma asserts, traders should look at themselves more as project managers who are constantly managing risk rather than gamblers placing bets and hoping over time to come out ahead. In so doing, traders will begin to operate more as business managers and are much likely to avoid market-busting losses and achieve consistently good results.
- Wealth Creation: A Systems Mindset for Building and Investing in Businesses for the Long Term
541
The idea of a firms competitive life-cycle and its stock valuation is based on the premise that competition and capital flows operate over the longer term to force companies economic returns toward the cost of capital. In a nutshell, the pattern of corporate economic returns and reinvestment rates reflects an unending struggle between managerial skills and competition over time. To maintain well above average economic returns and reinvestment rates over decades, companies must continually reinvent themselves to outperform competitors. This book approaches that stock valuation process with a systems mind-set and shows the six fundamental lessons in valuation that can be learned by viewing stock valuation from the company life-cycle perspective.

545

In short, the book will show active independent traders how to trade at a professional level and will provide a foundation for aspiring professional traders.
- Regulating Wall Street: The Dodd-Frank Act and the New Architecture of Global Finance
608
In Regulating Wall Street, Stern has assembled a team of experts, each a specialist in a relevant discipline, to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the legislation that is now on the table. Not all of the issues addressed in the current legislation are equally important. Some, such as financial sector compensation and consumer protection - are perhaps not central to future financial stability. Others, such as the future role of the Federal Reserve, the approach to systemic risk, the restructuring of too-big-to-fail institutions, and the shadow banking system that houses OTC derivative and money markets, are undoubtedly critical to the future safety and soundness of the financial system. The debates will be both heated and ongoing - as will the book's commentary; with a blog to accompany the book upon publication, the editors and contributors will have a forum to continue their discussions regarding the effects of the future legislation, as well as opening up the debate to readers.
