John Bogle on Investing | John Bogle
John Bogle on Investing is a collection of the best speeches and lessons presented by John Bogle, founder of Vanguard Investments, over his lifetime. In the book he discusses some of his core investing strategies such as;
- Why simple strategies are the best
- Why investing psychology is important (how fear can ruin the best made plans)
- Why indexing is the clear winning investment strategy
- Why minimising costs provides the best long term returns
Whilst the book can become a little repetitive at times, its worth reading in its entirety to let these lessons really sink in.
