hello-new member

I'm a normal/average investor playing with a personal account.

I'm in the following positions:

EWP, XLV, XLU, KRFT

My portfolio is currently up a little over 6% YTD(who isn't up these days).

I have a top down approach, and I believe Europe and the United States are significantly delevered with significant structural upside.

I'm currently reading Joel Greenblatt's and Ray Dalio's books/newsletters/materials.

I want to learn more about special situations(restructuring, mergers, spinoffs). I want to be able to create value from reading footnotes while maintaining a larger industry/market scope.

Welcome CatchingCents! I'm also interested in similar investment techniques regarding special situations; any input on good resources to read from others would be much appreciated.
