    RIP Jack Bogle

    In starting the first index fund, he made a lot of people’s lives a little better.

    Your post reminded me that my Charles Schwab IRA was a disappointment last year. Approximately half of the investment in ETFs and Closed End Funds And half in mutual funds realized a profit of a 1.87%. Not much to show for the risk of such a volatile stock market. Jack seems to have had a good thing going. But then he was Princeton grad.

    Indeed, he helped so many and will continue to help so many to achieve financial independence.

    A man who applied common sense instead of just swallowing the received wisdom. My portfolio thanks him.
