He has held teaching positions at Cornell University and New York University and holds a Ph.D. and two M.S. from Stanford University.

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. Read more

This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things - mostly about money and investing - she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. "But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The simple approach I created for her and present now to you is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other. Together we'll explore: Debt: why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it The importance of having f-you money How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works What the stock market really is and how it really works Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it How to invest in a raging bull or bear market Specific investments to implement these strategies The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA, and Roth accounts TRFs (target retirement funds), HSAs (health savings accounts), and RMDs (required minimum distributions) What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey Why I don't recommend dollar cost averaging What financial independence looks like and how to have your money support you What the Four Percent Rule is and how to use it to safely spend your wealth The truth behind Social Security A case study on how this all can be implemented in real life Read more

Most Americans — and people worldwide — understand that despite our remarkable technological advances, something is deeply wrong with the direction of our country and world. There are a variety of causes but Mr. Lepard believes, and wrote this book because, too many are missing the one, principal underlying cause: The Money Is Broken.Through his own personal story, and tracing the history of how we find ourselves in this condition, he explains in layman’s terms what happened, why it is wrong, and how we can fix it.This book addresses the pressing issues of inflation and wealth inequality and points outthat we do not need to suffer with these ills. It is a call to action for people of all ages and political persuasions. Sound money and personal freedoms are what built the America that, post-World War II, was widely admired and stood at the pinnacle of the world. Sadly, we have drifted away from the principles that took us there.The book also discusses today’s investment climate, the threats that savers face, and the likely path of markets over the next decade. There is a warning here. There will be winners and losers. The monetary transition engulfing us will create enormous changes, but we have many reasons for optimism. New technological developments and trends are taking us to a much better world.Understanding our monetary system is the key to solving today's global challenges.

Best Loser Wins is an intimate insight into one of the most prolific high-stake retail traders in the world. Tom Hougaard is the winner of multiple trading competitions and on one occasion traded £25,000 into more than £1 million over the course of a year.While the average retail trader risks £10 per point in the underlying asset, Tom Hougaard frequently risks up to £3,500 per point. This risk exposure requires a mindset that is out of the ordinary. Normal thinking leads to normal results. For exceptional results, traders must think differently.This book will guide and inspire you in ways no other trading book has. It is not about strategies and money management. It is about mind management. Tom Hougaard provides a unique and refreshingly personal account of how an ordinary trader elevated his game to incredible heights by focusing as much on his mental approach as on his technical analysis.Best Loser Wins explains how you, by thinking differently when you are trading, can elevate your game from mediocre and sporadic, to excellent and consistent. No amount of technical analysis will ever do that for you.Tom Hougaard says, “People don’t fail because they don’t know enough about technical analysis. They fail because they don’t understand what the markets are doing to their minds.” Best Loser Wins is an antidote to conventional and flawed thinking in trading, and a blueprint for a new belief system for traders who want to elevate their results to levels they never dreamed they could reach.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
