Episode 6: Mary Childs

The sixth episode of Read The Bull is an in-depth discussion with NPR Planet Money's Mary Childs about her book The Bond King, an in-depth look at Pacific Investment Management Co. (PIMCO) co-founder Bill Gross. Mary details Gross' rise as the world's top bond investor. Bond investing was once a sleepy domain of insurance companies where people literally clipped coupons, but Mary explains how it evolved and exploded in the 80s and 90s with PIMCO and Gross leading the charge. Gross is a fascinating figure who is finance famous, but his private exploits including his divorce bleed into the mainstream media. Stefan and Mary discuss Gross' legacy and how he will be remembered.  This is a conversation you don't want to miss.
