All new words or phrases introduced are fully explained by way of example, illustration and definition in the margins and also summarized in the glossary.

From the Author:

clear, concise investment advice
The bond market, like many specialized investment areas, is characterized by jargon and technical concepts. I have tried to clarify these concepts and ideas with a lot of definitions, charts and graphs, examples, and step-by-step approach to the entire subject matter.

Synopsis:

A practical guide which explains how to evaluate a wide range of American bonds, and describes the amount of risk and reward each type provides. It also examines the full spectrum of debt securities, providing information on how they are packaged and the markets through which they are sold.
