Customer Reviews

This is the best book I ever read on investing!

I used to get advice from my broker. When I found out he was executing trades without my knowledge I got angry. I went to the library and read this book. Then I moved everything to Vanguard and have done my own investing for the past 20 years without regret. I can retire comfortably any time I want; I owe it all to this book, the Bogleheads Guide to Investing, and Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover (not to mention the crooked broker I fired 20 years ago--haha)!
