 2008-12-26 - Bogle's Wise and Decent Advice
I guess I've probably read every book John Bogle has ever published. Does he repeat himself? Thankfully, yes. Some lessons are not fully learned the first time around, especially when so much "investment" advice runs contrary to the long term, conservative approach that Bogle espouses. Can you lose money following his advice? Of course. Investing entails risk. But over time,the typical investor will do well to heed his words.
A good and decent man. A good place to start when you are seeking investment advice.
 2008-12-24 - Great economic advice--too late
This book, published in January, is best written analysis of the 2008
economic crisis. I wish I would have read it in the spring !
2008-12-19 - Oh so refreshing
John "Jack" Bogle has hit a homerun with this book. There are so many though provoking ideas that I'm amazed that most of Americans choose to ignore them. I hope that this book wakens all of us on how far America has fallen from its solid foundation(s) to a country that is riddled with fraud and dishonesty. I couldn't get enough of Enough!
2008-12-16 - Reality check
This is a wonderful book. The first paragraph sums up the problem with the finacial sector today. Greed is the root of all of the problems that we are facing today. With bailouts totaling more than $1T world wide we are supporting an industry that dug its own hole. $1T is, by the way, $170 for every man woman and child in the world.
John Bogle talks about this and the idiocy that has been taking place over the last 20 years or so.
2008-12-06 - But When Will It Change?
While I was reading the book, I was saying "Amen!" over and over. Why hadn't I seen his work or story earlier?
There is great stuff that a lot of people will agree with (especially the ethical ones that usually get taken advantage of). The tough part is how to change things. There are some suggestions but they don't seem likely to happen soon.
The section on "Business" did start getting a little repititious. Yes, reputation helps things sink in but it was going too far. Just keep reading.
Excellent reading that inspires us to do the right thing. There's not enough of that in this world and I'm very glad that Bogle wrote this.
