Best book in investing in index funds
Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard, wrote this great book on index funds.Along with the much longer “Common Sense on Mutual Funds” – a very dry and dense 400-odd page book on the same subject, this book gives you the insight on investing in low-cost index funds. The longer book is great and provides alot of information (and I recommend it) but this shorter book is a great introduction.Bogle is an amazing CEO and loves to pontificate about index funds. What he isn’t is an amazing writer. But this book “Little Book…” must have been edited because it is well written and more readable than the longer book.

Great tool to stop spouse from continuously asking investment questions at the dining room table
My spouse was really starting to ask me a few too many questions about investing in the stock market ever since the pandemic started. It’s actually caused me to seek help from a psychologist. Finally, I decided to just buy this book for my wife’s birthday. She was so happy to get it. However, she wasn’t reading it… At all! So my daughter picked it up one day and wrapped it up again and gave it to her boyfriend for his birthday! So I purchased another copy for my spouse, and left it near the dining room table. Now every time my wife asks me an investment question, I point to the book. It’s been an incredible tool in this regard. And the red cover!! It’s excellent!! It’s hard to lose the book. It’s so visible and easy to point at whenever questions about investing arise, I just point at the book. It’s been awesome!! And it’s mainly about how to avoid fees, value investing through index funds…common sense investing stuff. It’s beautiful! And I’ve heard that my daughter’s boyfriend is actually reading the book and is learning a lot and loving it. My psychological issues have disappated and I’m no longer needing talk therapy. I love this book! Buy the book! It’s brilliant! Especially for people who refuse to read and just ask annoying questions, or a person getting into investing for the first time.

A must read for anyone interested in investing in the stock market
This book has wisdom from many decades of successful stock market investing experience. John Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group, has helped countless numbers of people reach financial stability, and this book explains the important points. Yes, there is risk investing in the stock market, but choosing an index fund (Exchange Traded Fund or a Bond Fund) lowers risk by diversifying assets.

Explains the math in accessible terms
I started investing more than forty years ago, and have degrees in mathematics, so I don’t need it explained to me. But I end up mentoring younger people who don’t understand the math. I give them each a copy of this book. Several of them have told me, a decade later, that this book changed their lives for the better.Investing should be simple and boring. The brokerage industry profits by making it seem complex and exciting. But those profits come at the expense of investors. Getting a young person to understand that, is helpful.

This is a book for every high school student!!!
This is the best advice on early investments any person must have IMO, understanding the stock market with quotes from industry titans, analogies and how to start investing you money and even tax free through IRAs, I spent easily $250,000 (granted $50k loss through COVID was one) but as I worked my was through trades, Robinhood, TD Ameritrade, and Charles Schwab, the goal of WS “It’s all a fugazi. You know what a fugazi is? It’s a fake. It’s a whazy. It’s a woozy. It’s fairy dust. It doesn’t exist. It’s never landed. It is no matter. It’s not on the elemental chart. It’s not F*^%ing real.” This quote is from the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013), where Leonardo DiCaprio plays the role of Jordan Belfort. The specific scene is a conversation between Jordan Belfort and Mark Hanna (played by Matthew McConaughey) during a lunch meeting. where the only goal is to bring home cold hard cash through commission! It erodes the wealth of individuals.

Great book
Encourage all young people to read this. I am 22 and have gained a 40% return over the past two years just by doing the common sense strategy. Not seeking that aggressive growth but focusing on slow and steady

Would definitely recommend getting this book to understand the importance of investing and the hidden costs behind certain funds.
