I'm curious about your thoughts.<br /><br />Absolutely fantastic blog.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11364929893068291749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321089372587128676.post-60999951206265418052010-03-11T18:32:36.396-05:002010-03-11T18:32:36.396-05:00I'd have to second Jack's comment.

Perhaps a step-by-step explanation of a simplified hypothetical BK and the major documents (and sources of the documents) and timing, and what to look for in each etc. would really help crystalize where to begin when looking at one of these. Thanks for all the work that you do.

It seems like to make a contribution to DDIC you have to already be tied into the distressed pipeline. The value of using the site as a launchpad to a distressed investing interview or career is reduced if you don't have a bloomberg. Anyone know of other resources I can use?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321089372587128676.post-20096461674189430852010-03-10T16:04:56.274-05:002010-03-10T16:04:56.274-05:00Hunter,

I follow the analysis with interest and it is ex post but very valuable. The investor goal is to try to find these opportunities beforehand. I am not an industry professional and I was wondering if you can do a post about finding primary sources such as the plan of re-organization and related documents as well as a timetable to important events in the bankruptcy process. Whenever I try to do this, I get lost in a minefield of documents and pages. Can you give us the benefit of your experience in trying to intelligently find and deal with documents and what sections we should emphasize? I realize this is asking a lot but it would be of great practical help. Forgive me if you've already done this.Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321089372587128676.post-30011382902954506772010-03-09T13:03:26.265-05:002010-03-09T13:03:26.265-05:00Looks just like GSIGQ...Looks just like GSIGQ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708414385360246824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321089372587128676.post-9030588199169268672010-03-09T11:57:19.189-05:002010-03-09T11:57:19.189-05:00They can't sandbag the actual numbers - they a...They can't sandbag the actual numbers - they are audited.

Why is it ...I do not totally follow the logic here. Why is it in mgmt's interest to report big year-end numbers before the plan is confirmed? From the way you lay it out, it seems like they would want to keep sandbagging until they confirm a plan, so they get the equity at a low valuation, and then report big results after they emerge once they can sell their stock. What am I missing here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
