Ms.Ray focuses on providing a clear conceptual framework for understanding fixed income concepts. The approach is highly intuitive and reader-friendly. A must for anyone trying to get to grips with the concepts of duration, BPV, vols, forwards, etc....

5.0 out of 5 stars Professionally written, and most of all PRACTICAL!!, December 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bond Market: Trading and Risk Management (Hardcover)

An extremely well written, concise and sometimes humorous explanation of how the bond market really works. I worked at the Chicago Board of Trade, and it is my opinion that Christina Ray truly understood the complexities and practicallities of the bond market in its entirety. A must read for anyone who thrives on information pertaining to getting the "edge" in an extremely competitive environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Useful, December 8, 2004

John Forman "Author -The Essentials of Trading" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Bond Market: Trading and Risk Management (Hardcover)

There are numerous books on the bond market. Many are so dense as to be opaque. Ray's book is very straightforward and simple. It gives you what you need to know about the fixed income markets in a direct fashion. Excellent for professional and academic alike.
