Great little book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is written in clear, understandable English and no technical jargon. Where terms need definition or explanation, they're kept simple and concise. Where appropriate, simple examples are given. If you want to have a better understanding of bonds, the bond market and how the bond market works, this is the book!
Good Introduction to Bonds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I found this book an easy read and quite informative for someone who is not well versed in bonds. I had often considered bonds to be a part of my portfolio but I didn't know enough about them to make an intelligent decision. This book helped me decide how best to purchase bonds (mutual funds, closed-end investment companies, individual bonds) and what things to consider. I highly recommend the book for someone thinking about adding bonds to their investment portfolio
Well written and a valuable addition to your library
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I have read a few books in the David Scott's Guides series and find them to be very well written, with understandable terminology and examples. He's a very good teacher and doesn't assume you know all the jargon of investing. In this book he builds a solid foundation for what the various kinds of bonds are, why they are issued, how to value them, etc. All your questions are answered clearly and he includes several Web sites to visit to get more information. Buy it, keep it handy, and enjoy the overlooked (by me, anyway) world of investing in bonds.
Understandable

A good overview of bonds. I have been dabbling in stocks for several years but avoided bonds because I really didn't understand them. This book provides a concise and easy-to-understand description of bond investments. Even better, it is one of the least expensive books available.

A super easy to read book, that provides all the details necessary in unterstanding how to purchase the different types of bonds available on the market. The book gives a clear and easy guide, for the investor, to follow in determining the bonds appropriate for their portfolio. It outlines the risks and opportunites -- with special attention of how inflation and interest rate changes can impact on bond value. Higly recommend that this book be thoroughly read before purchasing your first bond and then reviewed each time a follow up purchase is to be made. A fighter pilot has a check list to be review before each flight. This book is the check list for the bond buyer.
