Help Wanted: Merger Arbitrage Blogger

One of my goals for 2010 is to launch a few more sites to cater to a wider audience (for this post specifically, a risk arbitrage blog). Distressed Debt Investing had its 250,000th page view today (as well as its 150,000th unique visitor) and is about to tick over the 2000 RSS subscriber mark. I am incredibly humbled and thank all my readers for their continued support.

With that out of the way, I know there are many people out there that enjoy writing and teaching, like I do, and would like to contribute in some sort of fashion. One of the sites I am currently contemplating is a merger arbitrage blog. This site's main reason for existing will be teaching/instructing the intricacies of merger arbitrage/risk arb whether that be reading merger documents, calculating spreads, estimating probabilities, etc. In addition, this site will have a weekly update on current M&A deals in the market. Other bells/whistles will be announced when the site goes live.

What I need is an analyst, that likes to write (and writes well) and teach, that would be willing to post 2-3 times a week. I can offer lots of exposure. Terms of compensation will be discussed offline. If you would like to help out, or know someone that would like to help out with our new merger arbitrage blog, please contact me at hunter [at] distressed-debt-investing [dot] com
