"It's hard to argue with the eloquent logic of John C. Bogle'slatest ode to index funds... Bogle's 'Little Book' offers muchexemplary advice." (Bloomberg News, April 2007)
Among monetary gurus and wise men, John Bogle is a singularcase. As the founder of the highly regarded Vanguard Group, he isrevered for the company's commitment to providing value to itsclients as well as profits to its investors. He even has his owngroup of fans, called „Bogleheads,“ who cling to every utteranceand pronouncement from the great man.
In this latest entry in the Little Book series, Bogle'sgentle prose contains idiot-proof advice for investors at alllevels. He punctures the myth of the superiority of mutual fundsand instead declares that by using a bit of common sense, low-costindex funds are the way to go for most modest stock investors. He'salso wary of the ways of Wall Street and cautions investors tosteer clear of its institutional con men and cautions againstexcessive fees and taxes that invariably eat up profits.
It's not very glamorous or exciting advice, but that's also hispoint: Slow and steady wins the race. (Miami Herald, April9, 2007)
