Cover of How to Invest in Bonds for Maximum Profit

How to Invest in Bonds for Maximum Profit shows how you can invest in bonds to maximize your profits, especially when interest rates are high, as they are now.

Imagine if you could pick only stocks that would rise the most. Well, as far as I know, there is no sure way to do that with stocks, but there is a way to do that with bonds. This book will show you how, and it will show real examples of how this works and how much you can potentially profit, and how bonds, at times, can even be better than stocks. This book will also show the best way to combine investments in bonds with investments in stocks.
