Scott Fearon Biography

Scott Fearon aggressively pursues failure, in contrast to the majority of investors who live in fear of it. During the past thirty years, he has made millions of dollars for his hedge fund by shorting the stocks of companies he thought were headed for bankruptcy. Fearon explains in Dead Businesses Walking how he finds these failing companies and how they may make for incredibly profitable acquisitions. According to his observations, corporate managers frequently make six mistakes that can sabotage even the most profitable businesses: they learn from only the recent past; they rely too heavily on a formula for success; they misunderstand their target customers; they succumb to the magical storytelling of a mania; they fail to adapt to tectonic shifts in their industry; and they are emotionally or physically cut off from their companies' operations. In addition, Fearon has spoken with thousands of business leaders around the nation, many of whom were unwittingly on the path to bankruptcy. These individuals range from Texan oil barons from the 1980s to software wunderkinder from the 1990s to wealthy real estate developers from the mid-2000s. To assist investors in better anticipating the upcoming booms and busts—and coming out on top—he studies contemporary instances, including JC Penney, Herbalife, and Blockbuster Entertainment.
