"This book does a terrific job explaining bonds, why they should be a part of a person's portfolio as well as offering bond investing strategies. It explains difficult concepts like how bond prices react to rising interest rates in a way that anyone can understand. The sections on types of bonds and risks in the bond market are particularly useful for when you're putting together your bond investing strategy."
—Anne Schwab, CFP(R)
"Investing in the stock market is one thing, but Investing in bonds is another level of confusing and complicated. Joseph Hogue not only has the experience and education in the industry to understand the subject matter, but also the ability to break down this subject in a way that makes sense to someone like me who's got no experience in how bond Investing works."
—Jay Fleischman, Esq.
"Don't neglect bond investing and don't neglect this book. Too many investors avoid bond investing because they aren't as hyped as stocks or other investments. The author does a good job of pointing out the advantages of bonds against these other investments and why you should build a bond investing strategy for your portfolio."
—Darlene Fast, verified Amazon purchase
"Makes bond investing easy! I've always used mutual funds and ETFs for my bond investing but this book convinced me to add some individual bond investments to my strategy. The book goes into detail about the difference between mutual fund or bond fund investments and individual bonds. The investing strategy section then puts together a plan to use both for a simple strategy to get the best of both worlds."
