Easy to understand. Easy to love.

[Laura (Kyahgirl) · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a Canadian, I found this book had a lot of detail on the US bond market and US bonds that was not really of interest to me at this time. However, just based on the first chapters I am giving this book 4 stars because this is the first time I've seen and explanation of bond yield (current and 'to term') that was easily understandable. The calculations and explanation were excellent. I may come back to this book when I have a better understanding of the bond market in Canada and want to expand my knowledge.

This book made a lot of fairly abtuse concepts understandable. I can't say that I'm a bond expert after reading this, but I could probably play one on television.
