The Turnaround Letter 
An investment newsletter edited by George Putnam, III, the Turnaround Letter focuses on bankruptcy and turnaround investing.  The approach is simple, avoid the "blue chips" and "hot" stocks that most investors are stampeding into.  Instead, the Turnaround Letter searches out companies that have had problems and are temporarily out-of-favor, but are in the process of restructuring.  Our track record shows that laggard companies we identify often reach their projected success causing Wall Street to jump into and push the price up - often dramatically.
