beerbaron Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I want to start looking a bit into market neutral investing, more specifically merger arbitrage. Anybody has good value investing books to recommend toward merger arbitrage? Regards BeerBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinod1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I found "Risk Arbitrage" by Guy Wyser Pratte to be pretty useful. It has a concise history of how markets have evolved in the Arbitrage field and goes into the basic issues along with several examples from Author's experience. I have not worked through all the examples yet, but it is on my to do list. Vinod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpauls Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 As with most things, you are better off thinking about it on your own, not to say you shouldn't seek guidance of sorts to helpn you find your way. I don't think that it is too difficult to figure out. You typically want to make many small investments of sorts since the outcomes are more or less by chance, and you seek opportunities that give you better odds better than a 1:1. Look at Michael Price's past transactions and others who have done well and try to figure out the what and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
