„Na jedné párty, pořádané na Shelter Island jistým miliardářem, říká Kurt Vonnegut svému kolegovi a kamarádovi Josephu Hellerovi, že jejich hostitel, manažer hedgového fondu, vydělal za jediný den víc peněz než Heller na svém světově proslulém románu Hlava XXII za celou dobu od jeho prvního vydání. Heller mu na to odpovídá: „To je možné, ale já mám něco, co on nikdy mít nebude… dost.“ Žijeme v době, která jak se zdá, nezná hranic pro termín dost. Generální manažeři společností – dokonce i těch krachujících – berou astronomické bonusy a kompenzace, manažeři hedgových fondů se těší z miliardových odměn. Tyto výstřednosti nejsou jen do očí bijícími příklady nevkusných výstřelků, které zaplavily náš finanční systém a urychlily krizi, které nyní čelíme, ale sahají mnohem dál za finanční trhy. Neznalostí míry je podkopáván náš systém podnikání a profesionálních hodnot, často jsme vedeni na scestí, když děláme důležitá osobní rozhodnutí stran investic, potažmo našeho vlastního života. John C. Bogle inspiruje, když nabízí svůj jedinečný pohled jak na peníze, tak na hodnoty, které bychom měli v byznyse a svých pracovních kariérách následovat, a také na to, co bychom měli považovat za nejcennější poklady našeho života. Objevte, co skutečně znamená mít dost, a rychle zjistíte, jak jste tomu blízko. John C. Bogle je zakladatelem společnosti Vanguard Mutual Fund Group a prezidentem Bogle Financial Markets Research Center. Vanguard založil v roce 1974 a do roku 1996 zastával pozici generálního ředitele a předsedy představenstva společnosti, poté až do roku 2000 byl na pozici senior chairman. V roce 1999 jmenoval magazín Fortune Johna C. Bogla jedním ze čtyř „investičních gigantů“ dvacátého století. V roce 2004 jej magazín Time zařadil mezi sto nejmocnějších a nejvlivnějších osobností planety a magazín Institutional Investor mu udělil ocenění Lifetime Achievement Award.

The best-selling investing "bible" offers new information, new insights, and new perspectives The Little Book of Common Sense Investing is the classic guide to getting smart about the market. Legendary mutual fund pioneer John C. Bogle reveals his key to getting more out of investing: low-cost index funds. Bogle describes the simplest and most effective investment strategy for building wealth over the long term: buy and hold, at very low cost, a mutual fund that tracks a broad stock market Index such as the S&P 500. While the stock market has tumbled and then soared since the first edition of Little Book of Common Sense was published in April 2007, Bogle’s investment principles have endured and served investors well. This tenth anniversary edition includes updated data and new information but maintains the same long-term perspective as in its predecessor. Bogle has also added two new chapters designed to provide further guidance to investors: one on asset allocation, the other on retirement investing. A portfolio focused on index funds is the only investment that effectively guarantees your fair share of stock market returns. This strategy is favored by Warren Buffett, who said this about Bogle: “If a statue is ever erected to honor the person who has done the most for American investors, the hands-down choice should be Jack Bogle. For decades, Jack has urged investors to invest in ultra-low-cost index funds. Today, however, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he helped millions of investors realize far better returns on their savings than they otherwise would have earned. He is a hero to them and to me.” Bogle shows you how to make index investing work for you and help you achieve your financial goals, and finds support from some of the world's best financial minds: not only Warren Buffett, but Benjamin Graham, Paul Samuelson, Burton Malkiel, Yale’s David Swensen, Cliff Asness of AQR, and many others. This new edition of The Little Book of Common Sense Investing offers you the same solid strategy as its predecessor for building your financial future. Build a broadly diversified, low-cost portfolio without the risks of individual stocks, manager selection, or sector rotation. Forget the fads and marketing hype, and focus on what works in the real world. Understand that stock returns are generated by three sources (dividend yield, earnings growth, and change in market valuation) in order to establish rational expectations for stock returns over the coming decade. Recognize that in the long run, business reality trumps market expectations. Learn how to harness the magic of compounding returns while avoiding the tyranny of compounding costs. While index investing allows you to sit back and let the market do the work for you, too many investors trade frantically, turning a winner’s game into a loser’s game. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing is a solid guidebook to your financial future.
