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"
这本书的文字处理方式,简直是一股清流。它没有采用那种常见投资书籍中常见的过度专业化或故作深奥的笔调,而是像一个经验丰富的导师,用极其精炼的语言直击要害。我特别欣赏作者在解释复利效应时所用的比喻,那种画面感极强的描述,让我立刻领会了时间价值的巨大潜力。它不仅仅是一本教人“如何做”的书,更是一本教人“如何思考”的书。书中关于纪律性的强调,是贯穿始终的主线之一。作者反复提醒读者,投资的成功更多地取决于心理素质和行为模式的稳定性,而非智商的高低或对市场的预测能力。在介绍不同资产类别时,作者的分析非常平衡,他没有偏爱任何一种资产,而是客观地指出了它们的优势和局限性,这对于形成一个全面的投资观至关重要。每一次阅读,我都能发现一些新的角度来审视我既有的投资组合。这本书的排版和字体选择也十分考究,阅读起来非常舒适,长时间阅读也不会感到眼睛疲劳,这无疑提升了整体的阅读体验。
评分这本书的封面设计着实是引人注目,那种简洁而又带着一丝复古的风格,立刻让人联想到那些经典投资指南的质感。我第一次翻开它的时候,就被那种直截了当的语气给吸引住了。作者似乎完全没有那种故作高深的学者腔调,而是像一个经验丰富的老朋友,坐在你对面,用最朴实的语言拆解那些复杂的金融概念。比如,关于分散投资的章节,没有堆砌那些拗口的学术术语,而是用日常生活中的例子来做比喻,比如“不要把所有的鸡蛋放在同一个篮子里”这种老生常谈,在这里却被赋予了新的生命力,让你对这个基本原则有了更深层次的理解。书中对于风险和回报的权衡分析,尤其深刻,它没有鼓吹一夜暴富的神话,反而着重强调了长期主义和耐心在投资中的决定性作用。我特别欣赏作者对于市场情绪波动的处理方式,他没有试图预测市场的短期走势,而是教导读者如何在这种不确定性中保持冷静的头脑,专注于自己的投资目标。这本书的结构安排也非常合理,逻辑清晰,层层递进,即便是对金融市场知之甚少的新手,也能顺利地跟上作者的思路,并且从中汲取到实用的指导。读完之后,我感觉自己对投资有了一种更扎实、更接地气的理解,不再是那种飘忽不定的感觉。
评分这本书最成功之处,在于它对投资心态的塑造。在充斥着各种“快速致富”口号的市场环境中,这本书犹如一剂清醒剂,它坚守着价值投资的长期主义阵地。作者在书中多次引用古老的智慧,将投资行为置于更广阔的人生哲学框架下进行探讨,这使得这本书的价值远远超越了单纯的金融指南。比如,关于“市场先生”的那个经典描述,被作者赋予了全新的现代诠释,让我对市场的非理性波动有了更深层次的共情和理解,从而学会了如何与之和平共处。书中对指数基金和被动投资策略的推崇,也展现了作者务实的一面,他没有鼓吹散户去与华尔街的精英们进行短线博弈,而是提供了一条清晰、低成本、高效率的致富路径。这种务实精神,对于绝大多数工薪阶层的读者来说,是无比珍贵的指引。此外,作者对通货膨胀的剖析,也极其到位,帮助读者理解货币购买力的长期侵蚀,从而更加坚定了长期持有优质资产的决心。
评分这部小册子以其独特的凝练和穿透力,给我留下了极其深刻的印象。它的体量虽然不大,但内容密度却非常高,几乎每一页都包含了可以立即付诸实践的洞见。作者的笔触极其老练,他对市场周期性的理解似乎是与生俱来的,他没有故弄玄虚,而是将市场周期的起伏描绘得如同潮汐般自然。我尤其欣赏他关于“安全边际”的阐述,那种近乎偏执的审慎态度,是许多激进投资者所欠缺的。这本书的优点在于它不提供“答案”,而是提供“工具”和“思维框架”,它鼓励读者自己去探索和建立系统,而不是盲目跟从任何一个“大师”。这种赋能读者的教学方式,才是真正有价值的。即便是对我这样有一定投资经验的人来说,重新阅读此书,也像是一次深刻的思维重塑过程,它强迫我回归投资的本质,剔除那些不必要的噪音和短期诱惑。这本书的价值在于它能够经受时间的考验,并且在未来的市场波动中,依然能够提供稳定可靠的航向指引。
评分阅读完这本书,我的首要感受是,它成功地将原本令人望而生畏的投资世界,变得亲切可感。作者在阐述核心投资哲学时,展现出一种罕见的洞察力,仿佛他能看到普通投资者内心深处的恐惧与贪婪。书中对于“价值投资”的论述,没有停留在表面概念,而是深入剖析了如何识别被市场低估的优质资产。我特别喜欢他介绍的那些用来评估一家公司的简单财务指标,那些指标之基础,却又常常被那些追逐热点的人所忽略。更让我耳目一新的是,作者似乎有一种魔力,能将枯燥的数字和图表转化为生动的故事。他讲述了历史上几次重大的市场事件,以及那些成功投资者是如何应对的,这些案例分析不仅引人入胜,更是教科书级别的实战演练。这种叙事性的教学方法,极大地增强了阅读的乐趣和知识的吸收效率。此外,书中对于债务和储蓄的讨论,也十分到位,它提醒我们,健康的个人财务状况是稳健投资的基石,这是一种非常负责任的投资教育态度。整本书的语言风格充满了力量感和确定性,读起来让人信心倍增,同时也保持着应有的审慎。
