Praise for Risk Arbitrage an Investor′s Guide

"Never in history have there been so many mergers and takeovers like those in the late ′90s! Keith Moore′s Risk Arbitrage: An Investor′s Guide is the first systematic attempt to break the silence around the secrets of the investment and trading strategy that exploits these corporate restructurings: risk arbitrage. This is not just a book about the secrets of risk arbitrage but a real textbook and investor′s guide on how to trade the risk arbitrage special situations and about the risk arbitrage industry including hedge funds."
Gabriel Burstein Head of Specialized Equity Sales and Trading Daiwa Europe, London

"I am delighted that Keith Moore has been able to write a book describing the business of risk arbitrage in such a user–friendly way. This is a work that will prove useful to investors ranging from novices to professionals and should be especially helpful to those teaching finance courses at our colleges and universities. Congratulations, Keith, on accomplishing what none of your predecessors could."
George A. Kellner CEO, Kellner, DiLeo & Co.

"This book fills a surprising void on the subject of arbitrage at a time that could not be more propitious. It is written clearly and comprehensively and should be helpful to all who are interested in the subject, regardless of experience."
