In this episode of Summed, we deliver a complete The Little Book of Common Sense Investing summary by John C. Bogle—the Vanguard founder’s plain-English playbook for capturing your fair share of stock market returns by owning low-cost index funds and holding for the long run. You’ll learn why fees, taxes, and churn are the real enemies of performance; why buying the entire market (via a total-market or S&P 500 index fund) tends to beat most investors after costs; and how to automate contributions, reinvest dividends, and rebalance simply to let compounding work. Perfect for beginners and busy listeners who want a set-and-forget path to wealth.
