Provides a good overview of bond investments and explains what factors to consider when you are thinking about investing. Answers questions that made me uneasy about buying anything but bond funds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, June 22, 2003

By A Customer

This book is especially useful for someone who doesn't understand the basics of bond investments. It explains these investments in clear and easy-to-understand language. A good reference for investors who have limited experience in bonds.
