Step by Step Bond Investing - A Beginner's Guide to the Best Investments and Safety in the Bond Market

Step by Step Investing, Volume 3

By: Joseph Hogue

Narrated by: Joseph Hogue

Of all the opportunities to invest and make money, bond investing is likely one of the most neglected. Stocks are the get-rich investment, hyped by Wall Street and favored by investors. Commodities are widely used to hedge risk and to gamble on price changes. Even real estate is more widely held for its cash flow and other benefits.

According to research by fund manager Vanguard, the average investor holds just 15 percent of their portfolio in bonds. Since older investors typically hold much more of their investments in fixed-income, it's safe to assume that many younger investors are neglecting bond investment all together.

What you might not realize is that bonds are critical to reaching your financial goals. No other investment provides the kind of safety and security you'll get from bonds, and few other investments provide the kind of cash flow you'll get from these fixed-income opportunities.

In fact, manage your bonds right and you might not need much more to meet your financial goals. You'll get stable returns for decades and won't have to worry about constant crashes in the stock market. You'll get nearly guaranteed cash flows to pay for expenses and the retirement you deserve.

Putting a portfolio of bonds together that will meet your goals can be surprisingly easy if you know where to start. Understand bond basics and how to avoid the mistakes that cost other investors money, and you'll find an investment that's easier to manage than any other while moving you closer to financial freedom.

This book will do exactly that, help you put together a step-by-step investing strategy in bonds to understand how much of your portfolio to invest and how to do it.

Quick Review

Well done quick synopsis of why and how to invest in bonds. Simplified for long term investors strategies.

Too basic

Pretty basic
Was hoping for more for $5 and actually it was $10 because it was 1 credit
Should have much more info

Needs work on performance

I think the Narrator was nervous or to excited, I the information was great the delivery was not. He got a little ahead of himself a few times. Over all it was a good book.

Great content, poor reading...

This audiobook leaves much to be desired. The content is outstanding. The performance is not so great. I wish the publisher/audio editor would have forced the reader to redo the parts where he mispronounced words rather than just forcing his way through it.

To the point

I was interested in establishing my own bond portfolio . This book is exactly what I needed to do just that. I’m sure there are longer more detailed sources. But now I just have to review the steps and portfolio diversification strategies to accomplish my goal. The author has convinced me this is an often neglected but less risky and vital part of my overall wealth and retirement strategy. Buy this book rather than use a credit . It is well worth the cost. I’ll keep this on my device as I’ll be going to it often .

Straight forward

good information, not over complicated but a little short. Good resource guide to other research also
