Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Bond Market is a thorough guide to the mechanics of the market for U.S. Treasury securities and their derivative products. It explains the art and science of trading bonds for maximum profit with controlled risk, and illustrates how the best traders apply sound theoretical techniques under battlefield conditions. This is a valuable resource for readers with no prior knowledge of the bond market as well as those who want to enhance their understanding of bond theory with real-life trading tools and techniques. Specific topics include: how traders use mathematics to construct positions, in bonds or their derivatives, suitable for different market conditions and their own market risks; how traders determine the value of different securities and answers the critical question: Is bond movement random or can it be forecast? the consistent approaches used by successful traders that readers can apply quantitatively to analyze the risk/reward profile of any position.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work - the best book to understand bond concepts, May 9, 1999
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
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
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.
