Investing in Bonds FD Review: Must read for all retirees and those approaching retirement. - This book is fun, easy-reading, light-hearted, and very interesting. It is not only a primer on bonds, but also a very good book about general investing. The book keeps it basic and simple while telling you everything you need to know about investing in bond mutual funds. It does not give you the superfluous details about investing in individual bonds which requires an extraordinary desire and at least $350,000 to invest. I found the other popular bond books to be too technical and too focused on individual bonds. The book tells you all about all types of bond funds, their advantages and disadvantages. It presents different personal financial situations and describes appropriate allocations of various bonds funds. As with the Dummies series, margin notes let you know what is important, what is nerdy, and what is dangerous. You can easily skip paragraphs and even whole chapters which are not pertinent to your situation. 250 pages are divided into chapters which can easily be read in one sitting. Review: Exactly the book I was looking for - I'm often disappointed by books in the "Dummies" series but this is exactly the elementary introduction to investing in bonds that I was looking for. I've followed the stock market and bought and sold individual stocks since I was child but I've never bought an individual bond. Financial advice books like Personal Finance After 50 For Dummies routinely mention that people should have a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds but they never seem to explain how exactly one would go about buying a bond. I think the expectation is that you need to consult a financial advisor or a full-service broker but I am loathe to spend money on financial advice that I should be able to learn on my own. This book explains why buying bonds online, although doable, is not as straightforward or inexpensive as buying common stock online simply because the bond market has not undergone the revolution in reduced fees that the stock market has seen (I remember the days before discount brokers to say nothing of online trading). Some key takeaways from this book include: you need about $350,000 to make buying individual bonds make sense, otherwise stick to bond funds or ETFs, and if you do buy individual bonds, don't expect to sell them before maturity because of the (mostly hidden) fees you will incur. The author is mostly familiar with online bond-buying through Fidelity, which is fine with me personally but his tips may or may not apply to other brokers. I haven't yet decided if I should devote a significant portion of my portfolio to individual bonds but I now at least understand how to research the hidden fees and how I might go about building a "ladder" of diversified bonds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,216,301 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #136 in Bonds Investing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (215) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.64 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1119121833 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1119121831 | | Item Weight | 10.5 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 282 pages | | Publication date | October 16, 2015 | | Publisher | For Dummies | ## Images ![Investing in Bonds FD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814RQdszUeL.jpg) ![Investing in Bonds FD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+Pojz88GL.jpg) ![Investing in Bonds FD - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31YqEKRsdfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read for all retirees and those approaching retirement. *by B***S on March 5, 2019* This book is fun, easy-reading, light-hearted, and very interesting.
