Praise for SURVIVING THE BOND BEAR MARKET ""A confluence of events are converging to produce a rise in bond yields and a decline in bond prices. Authors Cohen and Malburg call the emerging bear market in bonds . . . 'Bondland's Nuclear Winter.' I call shorting bonds . . . 'The Trade of the Decade.' But whatever it is called, this book articulates the root cause of the developing crisis by taking you through a journey of strong analysis, great anecdotes, and visual stories.""-Doug Kass, founder and President, Seabreeze Partners Management  ""Baby Boomers beware-the thirty-year bond bull
