Richard Perry had only one down year over the past 20 years. What is he buying? "First, we anticipate a surge in defaults and will focus on buying securities of companies going through a restructuring. Second, we will concentrate on distressed special situations with a legal or process catalyst to drive value. Third, we will look for short opportunities, either outright or through capital structure arbitrage." These are the details of his buys and sells.
