The Little Book of Investing Like the Pros. Joshua Rosenbaum

Suisse was critical in the editorial and production process, including streamlining and refining the ultimate work product. Joe has a vast network, unyielding can-do approach, and an innate ability to get things done. He has been a true partner to us for many years.

      We would like to highlight the important contributions made by Brian Johnson of Barclays and Dan Levy of Credit Suisse, both highly regarded equity research analysts. Their contributions were multi-dimensional and their unwavering enthusiasm, insights, and support were nothing short of exemplary.

      Special thanks to Delphi Automotive's retired CEO Rodney O'Neal and retired Chairman Jack Krol for serving as the inspiration for our case study and helping to guide the narrative along the way. Aptiv CEO Kevin Clark, Chairman Rajiv Gupta, Board member Sean Mahoney, and Elena Rosman of investor relations shepherded our book internally, provided sage feedback, and helped ensure the details were accurate.

Didric Cederholm provided deep insight on the Delphi bankruptcy process and facilitated access to many of the key players involved. The Silver Point Capital team, consisting of co-founder Ed Mulé and Jeff Forlizzi, provided perspective on the full Delphi backstory, including the labor-intensive process towards creating massive shareholder value.

      Jeremy Weisstub provided sound technical insights and helped us distill complex concepts into layman's terms. Milwood Hobbs, Jr., a mentor and colleague dating back to early investment banking days, provided constructive feedback and was critical in getting the right people on board with the book. He still serves as a valuable friend and partner over fifteen years later.

      We'd like to thank the outstanding team at Wiley, who have been our partners for over a decade on all of our books and courses. Bill Falloon, our acquisition editor, brought us into the Wiley family and never wavered in his vision and support. He has provided strong leadership over the years and has become a true friend.

      Our publisher Matt Holt championed our book both internally and externally. Michael Henton, Steven Kyritz, Michael Freeland, Susan Cerra, and Purvi Patel on the editorial and production side worked diligently to ensure all the details were addressed and facilitated a smooth production process. Jean-Karl Martin, our marketing manager, helped us realize our vision through his creativity and foresight.

We also want to express immeasurable gratitude to our families and friends. Masha, Jonathan, and Olivia, and Margo and Alex, thank you so much for your support, patience, and sacrifice. You were always in our hearts and minds as we worked diligently to produce a book that would make us all proud.
