About this listen

John Bogle - founder of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group and creator of the first index mutual fund - is an industry pioneer. Over the years, he has single-handedly transformed the mutual fund business, and today, his vision continues to inspire investors .It has been over a decade since the original edition of Common Sense on Mutual Funds was first published. While much has changed during this time, the importance of investing and the issues addressed in the original edition of this book have not. Now, in the Fully Updated 10th Anniversary Edition of Common Sense on Mutual Funds, Bogle returns to update his in-depth look at mutual funds and the business of investing - helping you navigate through the staggering array of investment options found in today's evolving investment landscape.

Timely and timeless, this important audiobook examines the fundamentals of mutual fund investing in turbulent market environments and offers valuable guidance for building an investment portfolio. Along the way, Bogle shows you that simplicity and common sense still trump costly complexity, and that a low cost, broadly diversified portfolio continues to be the best way to build wealth at the lowest cost and risk - and will almost always outperform more expensive, actively managed mutual funds.Throughout, Bogle skillfully presents a platform for intelligent investing as he analyzes costs, exposes tax inefficiencies, and warns of the mutual fund industry's conflicting interests.

Emphasizing long-term investing and asset allocation, Bogle offers sensible solutions to the fund selection process and reveals what it will take to make it in today's chaotic market. Securing your financial future has never seemed more difficult, but after listening to this revised and updated edition of Common Sense on Mutual Funds, you will become a better investor. From stock and bond funds to global investing and index funds, this audiobook will help you regain your financial footing and make more informed investment decisions.

What the critics say

"The only thing better than Bogle's original book is its improved revision. Bon appetit!" (Paul A. Samuelson, Nobel Laureate, Economics)
"Were I allowed to recommend only one investment volume to friends and family, the updated edition of Common Sense on Mutual Funds would be it - it is even better than the first edition was ten years ago." (William J. Bernstein, author of The Investor's Manifesto, A Splendid Exchange, The Birth of Plenty, and The Four Pillars of Investing)

The second narrator is very annoying.

Whether someone has a good voice is based on personal preference, but the way the second narrator read the text is just... you have to hear it to find out for yourself but... he quickens his reading at every ending syllable of a sentence, making it hard to differentiate the last few words of literally every sentence he reads... it feels like hearing listening to someone talk in the hospital who's doesn't have long to live and out of breath. BUT! at the end of the day it's about the content, and the content is superb.
