John Bogle quotes
The courage to press on regardless - regardless of whether we face calm seas or rough seas, and especially when the market storms howl around us - is the quintessential attribute of the successful investor.
John Bogle
Yes, the investor is often his own worst enemy. Yes, the marketing colossus known as the mutual fund industry provides the weaponry which enables investors to indulge their suicidal instincts. No, the fund industry was hardly an innocent bystander in the market boom and the subsequent carnage. "We have met the enemy and he is us"... all of us.
John Bogle
Beating the market is a zero-sum game for investors. Money managers, as a group, must provide the market return... But that return comes only before their exorbitant fees, operating expenses, and portfolio turnover costs are deducted. The zero-sum game before costs becomes a loser's game after costs.
John Bogle
Time is your friend; impulse is your enemy.
John Bogle
Investing is not nearly as difficult as it looks. Successful investing involves doing a few things right and avoiding serious mistakes.
John Bogle
The stock market is a giant distraction to the business of investing.
John Bogle
I would always advise young people to follow their star - not my star. They have to live their own life. If they decide they want to go into the investment business, do it, but make it a better business than it is today.
John Bogle
Don't look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack.
John Bogle
