Bogle's Eight Rules of Simplicity: Low Cost, Advice, and Past Performance
We have more investment data than ever. Alpha, Sharpe ratios, behavioral finance, complexity theory. Has any of it made us better investors? Bogle’s answer in Chapter 4: no. We made the process more complicated. The fix is simplicity.
Asset Allocation and Why Costs Matter as Much as Your Stock/Bond Split
Asset allocation sounds fancy. Bogle reduces it to garden logic: different asset classes bloom in different seasons. You want to participate in the good seasons and survive the bad ones.
Occam's Razor: How Bogle Breaks Down Stock and Bond Returns
Chapter 2 asks a question most investors skip: where do returns actually come from? Bogle’s answer uses Occam’s Razor. The simplest explanation is usually correct. For stocks and bonds, that means three components. Not twenty.
Why Market Timing Fails and Bogle's Six Rules for Long-Term Success
Everybody talks about long-term investing. Nobody does anything about it. Bogle borrows that line (originally about weather) to open the second half of Chapter 1. The gap between what investors know and what they do is the whole story.
Chance the Gardener and Why Long-Term Investing Actually Works
Chapter 1 of Common Sense on Mutual Funds opens with a movie reference and ends with math that should change how you invest. Bogle uses Chance the gardener from Being There to explain something most investors forget: economies and markets have seasons.
Why Bogle's Common Sense on Mutual Funds Is Unlike Any Other Investing Book
Most investing books tell you what to buy. Bogle’s Common Sense on Mutual Funds tells you how the machine works, who profits from it, and why your returns depend on structure, not just stock picking.
Common Sense on Mutual Funds: Why Bogle's Book Still Matters
If you invest through mutual funds and you have not read John C. Bogle, you are flying blind with a full instrument panel. Common Sense on Mutual Funds is not a hot take. It is a full accounting of how the fund industry works, why most investors underperform, and what you can actually control.
