THE LITTLE BOOK OF COMMON SENSE INVESTING

This primer from the founder of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group, the father of the index fund, provides a relatively simple discussion for mutual fund investors. John Bogle is considered a hero by many investors, small and large. Thom Pinto's reading makes us feel like we're taking personal instruction from our "Uncle Jack." Pinto's pacing is just right for this sometimes complex topic. Even though the author does a good job of presenting the material simply, it takes Pinto's accomplished delivery to keep us fully connected. Listen to this terrific book if you're saving for retirement, saving for your kids' college education, or just using mutual funds as the great "get rich" strategy many believe they are.
