4 out of 5 stars A Solid Foundation - Not Too Dry.......2003-02-08

If you've read any number of books on investing, you know they can be tedious. But this book is relatively crisp and to the point. When the details of a subject are beyond the scope of a 200 page read, the book says so. If you are doing anything related to bond investing (even programming!) you should get started with this book.

4 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2001-02-08

As a person studying for the Series 7 examination, this document was extremely helpful in understanding the test preparation material. Other people may say there are errors in the document, well, if that is true, then the test-prep books, and the test itself is wrong.

This is a good book people. It can tell you lots of things. Its only downside is that it needs more numerical examples and more mathematical examples to show the concepts behind yield to mature data.

4 out of 5 stars Good starting point for research on this topic.......1999-12-11

I found this book to be very helpful in understaning this topic. I would recommend it to people new to the industry as a good starting point to learn about the bond market.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointing and of Questionable Reliability.......1999-09-25

I found the book disappointing and I question its reliability.

The following quote is taken directly from page 58 of "How the Bond Market Works", by Robert Zipf:

"However, the Tennessee Valley Authority frequently borrows money from the public. Its securities are not guaranteed by the United States Government, and are not generally exempt from state income taxes.

The following quote is taken directly from the "Tax Matters" section of bond offering circulars issued by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

"A U.S. beneficial owner is subject to federal income taxation on income on a Bond. The Act, however, provides that bonds issued by TVA are exempt both as to principal and interest from all taxation now or hereafter imposed by any state or local taxing authority except estate, inheritance and gift taxes."

(If you care to check it out for yourself, Tennessee Valley Authority offering circulars dating back to 1989 are available online, in PDF format, at the TVA web site.)
