Risk Arbitrage, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgments

I owe thanks to my wife, Ginny, and to all my family, for their love and support.

There are so many friends and colleagues I would like to thank, that it is difficult to come up with a complete list.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and work with a tremendous group of professionals. Albert Cohen and Marty Sklar introduced me to, and taught me, the risk arbitrage business. Other arbitrageurs have also been great friends, including Jeff Cohen and John Wagner, who have helped me throughout my career.

I also want to thank Professor Edward I. Altman, who encouraged me to write the book and helped me get the project started. Without his guidance and encouragement, the book would likely never have happened.

I owe a special thanks to all my editors at Wiley for their patience with this project, and to Ruth Mills for assisting me along the way.

There are many others who have been kind enough to help me over the years, and who have helped me on this book.

Thank you all…
