John Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group, was named one of Fortune magazine’s four “investing giants” of the 20th century. Bogle launched the first low-cost index mutual fund in 1975 and has long advocated indexing for everyday investors. We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Bogle to get his thoughts on whether buy-and-hold investing is dead.

Would be very interested in hearing what parts readers agree or disagree with Mr. Bogle.

  • Investing
  • Linux and Open Source Software
  • Guns, gear and other related gadgets
  • Fantasy Football (less than 3 months to go)
  • Religion
  • Conservative Issues
  • Current Events
  • Family Life
  • Favorite Books
  • and whatever else may come along

I don’t expect anyone will have all the same interests that I have but hopefully I’ll touch on something that is of interest to almost everyone.  One of the things I love are meaningful discussions about those things that interest me.  I’m not an expert on any of the interests I’ve listed above (well OK, maybe Fantasy Football) so I’ve probably got more to learn on all of these subjects than knowledge I can pass along.  Hopefully everyone can benefit from the interaction I hope to create here.

So thanks for stopping by.   I hope you come by often, read what is here and share your opinions, knowledge and experiences with the site.

I’ll end the initial post here with a “deep thought” from Jack Handy, “Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: “Mankind”. Basically, it’s made up of two separate words – “mank” and “ind”. What do these words mean ? It’s a mystery, and that’s why so is mankind.”

Here is to working through some of those mysteries here together.
