Chris’ original newsletter focuses on one key concept: looking for value--excellence at the right price--is the only reliable way to build wealth year after year. Every month, Chris’ critical and unbiased research produces winning stocks for Capital & Crisis readers. Written in a simple and engaging tone, C&C not only gives it’s readers great picks that will go the distance, but also excellent financial commentary in an easy-to-understand format.
In 2006, Chris launched MSS in hopes to capture great stock picks outside the typical Capital & Crisis arena. With an emphasis on smaller companies poised on the verge of big gains, Mayer’s Special Situations takes Chris’ classic investing ideals and applies them to a unique menu of opportunities including spinoffs, turnaround, foreign-listed stocks and much more. Like Chris’ other publications, MSS has a taste for contrarian bets overlooked by Wall Street and undervalued by a fickle market.
Chris’ first book, which will hit the shelves in late 2007, will focus on the investment practices Chris mastered in the corporate world that now brings his newsletter readers unbelievable returns. The book aims to teach the everyday investor little-known concepts previously utilized only by Wall Street insiders, dealmakers, and serious enthusiasts.
Above all, the book concentrates on insider ideas that have stood the test of time, reliably producing profits for its practitioners decade after decade. Drawing from a wide range of sources, the book pulls in anecdotes and stories from great investors of years past, such as nineteenth century speculator Jay Gould, investment theorist John Burr Williams, and even 17th century businessman Joseph de la Vega. The book also examines some of the best ideas from many of today’s top performing investors – including Marty Whitman, Seth Klarman, Joel Greenblatt and many more. Also included are many lesser known names and quirky characters (such as poker great Puggy Pearson) who have all contributed to the pile of investment wisdom. By bringing the best ideas of the best investors from present day to distant past, Investment Secrets from a Former Banking Insider will show everyday investors many different ways to generate quality investment ideas destined to perform. |
