George Putnam
III first became involved
with distressed securities as a
lawyer in the late 1970s. Seeing
the inefficient niche that
bankruptcies and turnarounds
were
presented, George Putnam founded New
Generation Research,
Inc. and began publishing The Turnaround Letter in 1986.
George Putnam believes there is
much less risk in a "troubled"
stock that has already been
hammered down by the market than
in a "hot" stock that is trading
at 30 or 40 times earnings. The
hot growth stock will come
crashing down if there is just a
little bad news (or perhaps even
good news that wasn't quite as
good as Wall Street expected).
But a stock that is already
perceived as troubled may hardly
budge on more bad news.
Turnarounds.com offers links to
New Generation Research
publications, products, and
services, including The
Turnaround Letter, Bankruptcy
Week, and The Distressed Company
Alert.
In addition to his
responsibilities at New
Generation, George Putnam also
serves as a trustee for The
Putnam Companies, a mutual fund
group with over $100 billion in
assets.
About The
Turnaround Letter
The
Turnaround Letter (Turnarounds.com) is a monthly
investment newsletter, offered
by paid subscription, which
focuses on bankruptcy and
turnaround investing. New
Generation Research looks for companies that have
had some problems and are
temporarily out-of-favor, but
are in the process of turning
around. Their belief is that these stocks seem like
laggards when they are first
identified, but as the turnaround
becomes more evident, Wall
Street will jump into the stock
and push the price up. The Turnaround
Letter tracks the
performance of all
recommendations from “Purchase”
to “Sell”.
Bankruptcy Week (BankruptcyData.com) is a weekly
newsletter that provides the
latest bankruptcy news and
analysis, synopses of
high-profile Chapter 11 filings,
emergence information, DIP
financing, professional
retention information, and more.
BankruptcyData.com also provides
a searchable online database
designed to meet the needs of
bankruptcy and credit
professionals.
BankruptcyData.com includes
access to over 300,000 private
and public business bankruptcy
filings, as well as in-depth
news and research on public
company bankruptcies.
