Acknowledgments

No major project is successful due to the efforts of just one person. In addition to my co-author, Janet Lewis, many people helped me in writing, editing, and developing its contents over a period of more than a decade. The employees, both current and former, of Schultze Asset Management LLC were all instrumental in making this happen and I wish to acknowledge their major contributions. Similarly, the many attorneys, investment bankers, and other experts I have worked with over the years were critical to helping me achieve my objectives. Of course, I would like to thank my family and clients for all their patience with me over the years, both in my investing work and during the writing of this book.
