Join us as we explore "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by John C. Bogle, the founder of Vanguard and creator of the first index mutual fund. This episode breaks down Bogle's powerful argument for a simple, low-cost investing strategy that consistently outperforms the majority of actively managed funds.

We'll cover key concepts like:

● The Gotrocks Family Parable: This insightful story from the book reveals how the costs of financial intermediation eat away at investor returns, highlighting the counterproductive nature of trying to beat the market.

● The Illusion of Outperformance: Learn why the returns reported by mutual funds aren't actually earned by most investors. We'll examine how factors like high fees, taxes, and investor behavior impact long-term investment results.

● The Power of Indexing: Understand why index funds, particularly those tracking the S&P 500 or the total stock market, provide investors with the best chance of capturing their fair share of market returns.

● The Relentless Rules of Humble Arithmetic: We'll break down the core mathematical principles of investing and how they favor a passive, low-cost approach.

This episode is perfect for:

● Beginner investors who want a clear, straightforward investing strategy.

● Experienced investors who are questioning the complexity of their current approach.

● Anyone tired of paying high fees and underperforming the market.
