Good Overview of the Fundementals,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bond Book: Everything You Need to Know About Treasuries, Municipal, GNMAs, Corporates, Zeros, Funds and More (Paperback)
Thau provides a good, thorough overview of bonds from beginning to end, including what you need to know about "bond math." I came to this book as someone both interested and invested in the stock market and I wanted to expand my knowledge to include other types of investments. The Bond Book definitely served my purpose. I recommend it to any beginner or novice investor looking to learn more about the nuances and varieties of fixed-income securities.

Intelligent, comprehensive book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bond Book: Everything You Need to Know About Treasuries, Municipal, GNMAs, Corporates, Zeros, Funds and More (Paperback)
This is a clear, thorough, comprehensive look at the world of bonds, starting with some general explanations and then going through each major category of bond in turn. The only problem is that the book is getting old and some of the examples and explanations are based on market conditions that no longer exist. However, the book is excellent and certainly stands the test of time.

This review is from: The Bond Book: Everything You Need to Know About Treasuries, Municipal, GNMAs, Corporates, Zeros, Funds and More (Paperback)
I really liked this book. It was well written and organized clearly. Everyone is crazy about stocks, so not much is really known about bonds. I read another book on bonds and still was unsure. This book was different. It was clear and thorough on all types of bond issues and offers clear warning on risks. Bonds are not as safe as I thought - if you think they are, definitely read this book. Many good ideas on setting up safe portfolios that will do well over time.
