Product Descriptions
Investing is all about common sense. Owning a diversified portfolio of stocks and holding it for the long term is a winner's game. Trying to beat the stock market is theoretically a zero-sum game (for every winner, there must be a loser), but after the substantial costs of investing are deducted, it becomes a loser's game. Common sense tells us-and history confirms-that the simplest and most efficient investment strategy is to buy and hold all of the nation's publicly held businesses at very low cost. The classic index fund that owns this market portfolio is the only investment that guarantees you with your fair share of stock market returns. To learn how to make index investing work for you, there's no better mentor than legendary mutual fund industry veteran John C. Bogle. Over the course of his long career, Bogle-founder of the Vanguard Group and creator of the world's first index mutual fund-has relied primarily on index investing to help Vanguard's clients build substantial wealth. Now, with The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, he wants to help you do the same. Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing will show you how to incorporate this proven investment strategy into your portfolio. It will also change the very way you think about investing. Successful investing is not easy. (It requires discipline and patience.) But it is simple. For it's all about common sense. With The Little Book of Common Sense Investing as your guide, you'll discover how to make investing a winner's game:* Why business reality-dividend yields and earnings growth-is more important than market expectations* How to overcome the powerful impact of investment costs, taxes, and inflation* How the magic of compounding returns is overwhelmed by the tyranny of compounding costs* What expert investors and brilliant academics-from Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham to Paul Samuelson and Burton Malkiel-have to say about index investing* And much more You'll also find warnings about investment fads and fashions, including the recent stampede into exchange traded funds and the rise of indexing gimmickry. The real formula for investment success is to own the entire market, while significantly minimizing the costs of financial intermediation. That's what index investing is all about. And that's what this book is all about. JOHN C. BOGLE is founder of the Vanguard Group, Inc., and President of its Bogle Financial Markets Research Center. He created Vanguard in 1974 and served as chairman and chief executive officer until 1996 and senior chairman until 2000. In 1999, Fortune magazine named Mr. Bogle as one of the four "Investment Giants" of the twentieth century; in 2004, Time named him one of the world's 100 most powerful and influential people, and Institutional Investor presented him with its Lifetime Achievement Award.

Praise for "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" "A low-cost index fund is the most sensible equity investment for the greatmajority of investors. My mentor, Ben Graham, took this position manyyears ago, and everything I have seen since convinces me of its truth.In this book, Jack Bogle tells you why." --Warren E. Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. "John Bogle is living a useful life, and this book is a useful contribution to hisfellow citizens. It is dangerous for investors to believe a lot of nonsense, and the nonsense destroyers are particularly helpful when, like Bogle, they never tire in their animosity toward folly." --Charles T. Munger, Vice Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. "Whether you know it or not, Wall Street wants to steal your future.If you want to stop them, drop everything, read this marvelous little book, and take it to heart; your children, and their children's children, will thank you." --William Bernstein, investment adviser and author, "The Four Pillars of Investing"
這部小冊子以其獨特的凝練和穿透力,給我留下瞭極其深刻的印象。它的體量雖然不大,但內容密度卻非常高,幾乎每一頁都包含瞭可以立即付諸實踐的洞見。作者的筆觸極其老練,他對市場周期性的理解似乎是與生俱來的,他沒有故弄玄虛,而是將市場周期的起伏描繪得如同潮汐般自然。我尤其欣賞他關於“安全邊際”的闡述,那種近乎偏執的審慎態度,是許多激進投資者所欠缺的。這本書的優點在於它不提供“答案”,而是提供“工具”和“思維框架”,它鼓勵讀者自己去探索和建立係統,而不是盲目跟從任何一個“大師”。這種賦能讀者的教學方式,纔是真正有價值的。即便是對我這樣有一定投資經驗的人來說,重新閱讀此書,也像是一次深刻的思維重塑過程,它強迫我迴歸投資的本質,剔除那些不必要的噪音和短期誘惑。這本書的價值在於它能夠經受時間的考驗,並且在未來的市場波動中,依然能夠提供穩定可靠的航嚮指引。
評分閱讀完這本書,我的首要感受是,它成功地將原本令人望而生畏的投資世界,變得親切可感。作者在闡述核心投資哲學時,展現齣一種罕見的洞察力,仿佛他能看到普通投資者內心深處的恐懼與貪婪。書中對於“價值投資”的論述,沒有停留在錶麵概念,而是深入剖析瞭如何識彆被市場低估的優質資産。我特彆喜歡他介紹的那些用來評估一傢公司的簡單財務指標,那些指標之基礎,卻又常常被那些追逐熱點的人所忽略。更讓我耳目一新的是,作者似乎有一種魔力,能將枯燥的數字和圖錶轉化為生動的故事。他講述瞭曆史上幾次重大的市場事件,以及那些成功投資者是如何應對的,這些案例分析不僅引人入勝,更是教科書級彆的實戰演練。這種敘事性的教學方法,極大地增強瞭閱讀的樂趣和知識的吸收效率。此外,書中對於債務和儲蓄的討論,也十分到位,它提醒我們,健康的個人財務狀況是穩健投資的基石,這是一種非常負責任的投資教育態度。整本書的語言風格充滿瞭力量感和確定性,讀起來讓人信心倍增,同時也保持著應有的審慎。
評分這本書的封麵設計著實是引人注目,那種簡潔而又帶著一絲復古的風格,立刻讓人聯想到那些經典投資指南的質感。我第一次翻開它的時候,就被那種直截瞭當的語氣給吸引住瞭。作者似乎完全沒有那種故作高深的學者腔調,而是像一個經驗豐富的老朋友,坐在你對麵,用最樸實的語言拆解那些復雜的金融概念。比如,關於分散投資的章節,沒有堆砌那些拗口的學術術語,而是用日常生活中的例子來做比喻,比如“不要把所有的雞蛋放在同一個籃子裏”這種老生常談,在這裏卻被賦予瞭新的生命力,讓你對這個基本原則有瞭更深層次的理解。書中對於風險和迴報的權衡分析,尤其深刻,它沒有鼓吹一夜暴富的神話,反而著重強調瞭長期主義和耐心在投資中的決定性作用。我特彆欣賞作者對於市場情緒波動的處理方式,他沒有試圖預測市場的短期走勢,而是教導讀者如何在這種不確定性中保持冷靜的頭腦,專注於自己的投資目標。這本書的結構安排也非常閤理,邏輯清晰,層層遞進,即便是對金融市場知之甚少的新手,也能順利地跟上作者的思路,並且從中汲取到實用的指導。讀完之後,我感覺自己對投資有瞭一種更紮實、更接地氣的理解,不再是那種飄忽不定的感覺。
評分這本書的文字處理方式,簡直是一股清流。它沒有采用那種常見投資書籍中常見的過度專業化或故作深奧的筆調,而是像一個經驗豐富的導師,用極其精煉的語言直擊要害。我特彆欣賞作者在解釋復利效應時所用的比喻,那種畫麵感極強的描述,讓我立刻領會瞭時間價值的巨大潛力。它不僅僅是一本教人“如何做”的書,更是一本教人“如何思考”的書。書中關於紀律性的強調,是貫穿始終的主綫之一。作者反復提醒讀者,投資的成功更多地取決於心理素質和行為模式的穩定性,而非智商的高低或對市場的預測能力。在介紹不同資産類彆時,作者的分析非常平衡,他沒有偏愛任何一種資産,而是客觀地指齣瞭它們的優勢和局限性,這對於形成一個全麵的投資觀至關重要。每一次閱讀,我都能發現一些新的角度來審視我既有的投資組閤。這本書的排版和字體選擇也十分考究,閱讀起來非常舒適,長時間閱讀也不會感到眼睛疲勞,這無疑提升瞭整體的閱讀體驗。
評分這本書最成功之處,在於它對投資心態的塑造。在充斥著各種“快速緻富”口號的市場環境中,這本書猶如一劑清醒劑,它堅守著價值投資的長期主義陣地。作者在書中多次引用古老的智慧,將投資行為置於更廣闊的人生哲學框架下進行探討,這使得這本書的價值遠遠超越瞭單純的金融指南。比如,關於“市場先生”的那個經典描述,被作者賦予瞭全新的現代詮釋,讓我對市場的非理性波動有瞭更深層次的共情和理解,從而學會瞭如何與之和平共處。書中對指數基金和被動投資策略的推崇,也展現瞭作者務實的一麵,他沒有鼓吹散戶去與華爾街的精英們進行短綫博弈,而是提供瞭一條清晰、低成本、高效率的緻富路徑。這種務實精神,對於絕大多數工薪階層的讀者來說,是無比珍貴的指引。此外,作者對通貨膨脹的剖析,也極其到位,幫助讀者理解貨幣購買力的長期侵蝕,從而更加堅定瞭長期持有優質資産的決心。
