Before the 2008/2009 financial meltdown all of my investments were equities. After that smack in the head I realized I needed to add bonds to my portfolio to spread risk. I began searching for information on how to purchase bonds and what strategies to follow, researching various publications without much of a sense of confidence.
I recently acquired Bonds Now! My questions have been answered. Marilyn Cohen and Chris Malburg have provided a user-friendly guide with step-by-step instructions for buying bonds.
Bonds Now! is a must-read for anyone who wants to build or expand a bond portfolio. The book is enjoyable and highly informative. Congratulation to Marilyn and Chris for having explained a complex subject in simple terms.

The bond market has always been more complicated than equities. Bonds Now! has clarified so much for me. Too bad I didn’t have this book before the credit meltdown— it would have saved me a bundle.
Marilyn takes a complicated beast (the bond market) and breaks it down into understandable English. It’s a must read for bond investors.
No matter how smart a bond investor you think you are—-this book will teach you some new tricks and methods to manage better. I did learn that the institutions really rule the roost. . . we mere individuals need an edge. Bonds Now! is that edge.

The “little guy” needs a chion and we have found her in Marilyn Cohen!

Her advice on getting the best price for the bonds in your portfolio will pay for this book many times over.

This bond book is the 2nd one I’ve purchased recently. It has some exles of how things went wrong in the crash of 2008 and how to invest wisely to minimize the chances of losses in the bond market should another crash occur. I recommend it for that reason. However, like many stock books that talk exclusively about their own subject, this book is very focused on bonds. It seems like we could use a book that talks more about combining stocks with bonds investment strategies and provide guidance on blending the two to create a safe and reasonably secure retirement portfolio that includes the benefits of stock and bond diversification.
Also, bond books, in general, do not really discuss the time scale of interest changes, and this book doesn’t exactly cover this topic that well either. The time scale goes back ~80 years to a time just after the great depression when interest rates were as low as they are today. This book doesn’t really talk about optimal strategies on managing money in the face of such low short term interest rates as we faced then and are facing today. I still strongly recommend the book purely for it’s coverage on how to choose bonds that are fully liquid and why that is important as well has how to diversify the bonds and why that is important.
I strongly recommend the book.
