Book Review: the Little Book of Common Sense Investing, J. Bogle
John Bogle summaries and explains a lot of our thinking here at Enterprising Investor Forum. He starts with Buffettâ s famous story about the Gotrocks, explaining how Wall Street is effectively stealing investor funds and preventing them from adequately compounding good returns. He details why the low-cost index fund solution is the best way for most investors to allocate their savings and shows this in a very simple and concise manner. Like Warren Buffett, he maintains that investing is all about common sense and that investors should not fall victim to fads and fashion and understand that despite being simple, investing is far from easy. We should forget notions of consistently trying to â beat the marketâ or â beat the streetâ â it is simply not possible and effectively a zero-sum game.
