This is one of the most comprehensive, succinct, easy to understand guides I've ever read. I especially liked the information I learned about bonds, estate planning, ways to invest for college and retirement, and ways to minimize the effects of inflation and taxes on investments.
Reading about the hype in the media regarding, "Hey, I've got a hot tip for you"- and to tune out this "noise" was very enjoyable. It was also interesting to read about "behavioral economics" and how emotions effect the way people invest.
Taylor, Mel, and Michael also did an excellent job discussing the importance of having an asset allocation. They explained in detail what each type of investment vehicle is, and the importance of starting early to let the "Magic of Compound Interest" work for you. The understanding of inflation was also stressed, and how it effects purchasing power. This guide also includes a glossary of financial terms, recommended books, and website support regarding investing. If you want to read just one book about investing, this one is right up there as one I would highly recommend.
The dedication to this book says it all in regards to why there are Bogleheads: To John C. Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Group
"A man whom we knew from afar for many years but have since come to know and cherish as a friend. While some mutual fund founders chose to make billions, he chose to make a difference."
(From quoting Kathleen L. Ryan, USA)

From Publisher
The Bogleheads Guide to Investing is a slightly irreverent, straightforward guide to investing for everyone. The book offers sound, practical advice, no matter what your age or net worth. Bottomline, become a Boglehead and prosper! Originally just the chat-line ruminations of Boglehead founder Taylor Larimore, and Morningstar forum leading cohorts Mel Lindauer and Michael LeBoeuf, their trusted advice has been brewed and distilled into an easy-to-use, need-to-know, no frills guide to building up your own financial well-being so you can worry less and profit more from the investments you make. Invest like a Boglehead, and let their grassroots investment wisdom guide you down the path of long-term wealth creation and happiness, without all the worries and fuss of stock pickers and day traders. If you face a financial crisis or problem, or simply want to know what is prudent to do with the money you save, the Bogleheads will have the answers you need to help you gain your financial footing and keep it.

Kindness, integrity, and common sense can be scarce on Wall Street, but the Bogleheads have each in abundance. Reading The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing is like learning investing from your grandfather. There's a lifetime of wisdom packed into these pages, coupled with a sincere desire to help investors meet their goals. Jack Bogle will be proud! |

The Vanguard Diehards - a.k.a. the 'Bogleheads' - are easily the planet's most well-informed, congenial, and successful group of individual investors. At long last, they're letting the general public in on their solutions, their secrets, and their strategies. If you're about to retire, are planning to retire, or are even thinking of retiring, you can't afford not to read this book. |

More than thirty years ago John Bogle started a war in the mutual fund industry. His weapon was low fees, and his shield was common sense. In this book, three ardent followers sagely outline Bogle's approach that has benefited millions and will benefit millions more. |
