Bond Market Rules is for beginning- to intermediate-level investors who want to learn or review the basics of investing in bonds. Prices, price action, interest-rate analysis, fundamental and technical analysis, new types of bonds (Bradys, DANs, TIPS), taxexempt bonds, bonds that increase in face value with inflation, bonds that have a “survivors’ put option”: all are explained and examined. Bonds have changed.
Short chapters based on single concepts, it’s the same approach that worked so well in Stock Market Rules, a popular guide on stock investing since 1990. This is a great book to read during lunch. No matter what your investment objectives are, Bond Market Rules can help you plan and organize the bond portion of your portfolio. Bond Market Rules will give you an understanding of what a bond is and how the different types of bonds function. The understanding can make you a better-informed, more prudent, and more profitable investor.

I’m going to be short with this review but I liked the book enough to log into Amazon and at least attempt to write something. First, easy read. Second, good analysis of yield curves. Third, provided a basic understanding of the concepts. Enough to get started.
I am going to buy yet another book on Bonds. It goes into more depth on each type of bond and investing for income.
However, this book was a great start to the cloudy world of bonds and the vocabulary that goes along with it.
