About The Little Book of Common Sense Investing
The Little Book of Common Sense Investing is John Bogle’s (founder of Vanguard’s) treatise on how and why investing in index funds is the smartest choice for the vast majority of investors. In it, he crunches the number (in a way that even non-investors can understand) to prove his point: that, for the most part, hiring a financial advisor costs more than it’s worth and you’re better off diversifying your investment funds in a low-fee, automatic market-tracking fund.
Book in one sentence: The best investment is an index fund.
Who this book for: Beginning investors.
