Author Biography
Maurece Schiller (1901-1994) left Dartmouth and landed on Wall Street in 1922, just in time to watch shady practices and heedless risk end in the crash and Great Depression. This experience led him to choose his life's work: practice and study of special situations, designed to avoid risk for clients. Beginning in the 1930s, he invented new and refined existing special situations so the investor could experience almost riskless gains and avoid the devastation of the Great Depression again.
