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. Maryโ€™s 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 worldโ€™s largest money management firms. The book also serves as a vessel to understanding the bond bull market that began in the early 1980s.
