Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Must read book for people in bond market
Liar's Poker

Michael Lewis
New Agreed - it is a classic
BTW the story is quite real. While I don't directly know anyone in that book, I know plenty of people who know people in the book. And I have even played Liar's Poker. (Once only. And lost. Badly.)

And yes, I work in bonds. :-)

Cheers,
Ben

PS Random industry saying. "The problem is that while bonds mature, bond traders don't." (Bond traders are always young. A bond reaches maturity when it is paid off.)
New Working in bonds....
I prefer working in silk sashes.....
