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.

Title: Best investment strategy
Review: Easy to understand and learn about the stock market and investment. Classic book that every parent and child should read. These are things that aren’t taught in school. Great read for any level of investment. Lots of great facts and studies noted in the book. Tons of testimonies to backup data. I’m more confident about investing after reading this book.

Title: Great tool to stop spouse from continuously asking investment questions at the dining room table
Review: My spouse was really starting to ask me a few too many questions about investing in the stock market ever since the pandemic started. It's actually caused me to seek help from a psychologist. Finally, I decided to just buy this book for my wife's birthday. She was so happy to get it. However, she wasn't reading it... At all! So my daughter picked it up one day and wrapped it up again and gave it to her boyfriend for his birthday! So I purchased another copy for my spouse, and left it near the dining room table. Now every time my wife asks me an investment question, I point to the book. It's been an incredible tool in this regard. And the red cover!! It's excellent!! It's hard to lose the book. It's so visible and easy to point at whenever questions about investing arise, I just point at the book. It's been awesome!! And it's mainly about how to avoid fees, value investing through index funds...common sense investing stuff. It's beautiful! And I've heard that my daughter's boyfriend is actually reading the book and is learning a lot and loving it. My psychological issues have disappated and I'm no longer needing talk therapy. I love this book! Buy the book! It's brilliant! Especially for people who refuse to read and just ask annoying questions, or a person getting into investing for the first time.

Title: Must Read For People Thinking About Investing
Review: I was thinking of opening a Roth IRA and stumbled across bogleheads and consequently, this book. I just finished it and it really was merely a little book of common sense investing. John Bogle just makes too much sense and bows to the rules of humble arithmetic. The summary advice is to diversify your portfolio and invest in broad-market low-cost index funds

Title: Very Good Read
Review: A wealth of knowledge that helps filter out the noise to hear the music. Wish my 401k account manager would have communicated the difference between mutual funds and low cost Index Funds. After reading, I immediately and confidently reallocated the funds in my 401k from the high cost mutual funds that were the default.

Title: This is a book for every high school student!!!
Review: This is the best advice on early investments any person must have IMO, understanding the stock market with quotes from industry titans, analogies and how to start investing you money and even tax free through IRAs, I spent easily $250,000 (granted $50k loss through COVID was one) but as I worked my was through trades, Robinhood, TD Ameritrade, and Charles Schwab, the goal of WS "It's all a fugazi. You know what a fugazi is? It's a fake. It's a whazy. It's a woozy. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not F*^%ing real." This quote is from the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013), where Leonardo DiCaprio plays the role of Jordan Belfort. The specific scene is a conversation between Jordan Belfort and Mark Hanna (played by Matthew McConaughey) during a lunch meeting. where the only goal is to bring home cold hard cash through commission! It erodes the wealth of individuals.
