To understand the bond market, you have to understand the Bond King. In this episode, Mary Childs joins Cole and Bill to discuss her book, The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market, Built an Empire, and Lost It All. Maryโs book explores the rise of Bill Gross, how he shaped the inner workings of the investment business and bond industry, and the culture at one of the worldโs largest money management firms. The book also serves as a vessel to understanding the bond bull market that began in the early 1980s.
