5.0 out of 5 stars David Scott's Guide to Investing in Bonds, Aug 17 2004

By Ronald E. Damrill - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: David Scott's Guide to Investing in Bonds: Build Your Wealth by Mastering Scott's Basic Strategies for .Selecting Bonds and Bond Funds .Buying and Selling Bonds .Understanding Bond Ratings .Assessing Risks and Opportunites. (Paperback)

A super easy to read book, that provides all the details necessary in unterstanding how to purchase the different types of bonds available on the market. The book gives a clear and easy guide, for the investor, to follow in determining the bonds appropriate for their portfolio. It outlines the risks and opportunites -- with special attention of how inflation and interest rate changes can impact on bond value. Higly recommend that this book be thoroughly read before purchasing your first bond and then reviewed each time a follow up purchase is to be made. A fighter pilot has a check list to be review before each flight. This book is the check list for the bond buyer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and a valuable addition to your library, Aug 3 2005

By N. Richardson "Analog Kid" - Published on Amazon.com

I have read a few books in the David Scott's Guides series and find them to be very well written, with understandable terminology and examples. He's a very good teacher and doesn't assume you know all the jargon of investing. In this book he builds a solid foundation for what the various kinds of bonds are, why they are issued, how to value them, etc. All your questions are answered clearly and he includes several Web sites to visit to get more information. Buy it, keep it handy, and enjoy the overlooked (by me, anyway) world of investing in bonds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understandable, Dec 29 2004

By Investing for Fun - Published on Amazon.com

A good overview of bonds. I have been dabbling in stocks for several years but avoided bonds because I really didn't understand them. This book provides a concise and easy-to-understand description of bond investments. Even better, it is one of the least expensive books available.
