Distressed investing 2009: Opportunities and pitfalls

Although distressed investing has often been the domain of private equity and turnaround firms, the financial crisis has rewritten the rules of dealmaking. The best minds in the distressed investing business sorted through the new challenges at the TMA/The Deal's Distressed Investing Conference, held in Las Vegas last month.

To help you sort through our coverage, we've assembled a synopsis of some of the best video interviews from the conference. The Deal magazine will also explore strategies that strategic acquirers are taking toward distressed investing in a feature article called "Here come the strategics" from Corporate Dealmaker, our sister blog. Both KPS Capital Partners LP David Shapiro and Saybook Capital LLC's  Jonathan Rosenthal outlined some pros and cons on loan-to-own or distressed buyouts by strategics at the conference.

Shapiro believes this year and 2010 will be the busiest in history for distressed investing. If you missed the conference, click through to review the video highlights. - Maria Woehr
