The maximum on a random time interval of a random walk with long-tailed increments and negative drift

The maximum on a random time interval of a random walk with long-tailed increments and negative drift

We study the asymptotics for the maximum on a random time interval of a random walk with a long-tailed distribution of its increments and negative drift. We extend to a general stopping time a result by Asmussen, simplify its proof and give some converses.
