About the Author

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 of 1929 and Great Depression. This experience led him to his life’s work: practice and study of special situations, designed to avoid risk for clients. Beginning in the 1930s and into the 1960s, he invented new and refined existing special situations so the investor could reap nearly riskless rewards – fortunes – in the stock market.
