ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

John C. Bogle's "Little Book Of Common Sense Investing" makes a compelling case for a simple and effective investment philosophy. The book centers on the idea that outperforming the stock market is an illusion for most investors. Instead, Bogle advocates for a strategy focused on owning a broad portfolio of stocks through low-cost index funds. He argues that the costs associated with active management and frequent trading significantly erode investment returns. The book explores why attempting to select winning funds and chase past performance is often counterproductive, emphasizing the importance of minimizing expenses and adhering to a long-term, buy-and-hold approach to capture a fair share of market returns.
