review 1: Another classic by John Bogle. Why didn't I hear about him 30 years ago??? To sum up, save for retirement in low-cost INDEX funds that cover the broadest base possible, eg the entire stock market. Don't speculate, don't waver, don't withdraw money, keep saving and you will have a good retirement fund. He also gives his views on how to save the country's spotty and ill-performing retirement system, speculators in general and the financial industry's fall from grace. A truly great read.
review 2: An interesting read. I was hoping to gain some investment insight, and did get some ideas to research on fund selection. But the book was also a good historical view on how investors have moved from a steady long term investment approach to a short term speculatio... moren mindset. And this only makes the financial community rich and takes away from the individual investor. Bogle is brilliant at explaining why diversification and long term investment in low-overhead mutual funds still gives the best returns in the long run. less
