baronn 111 #1 January 16, 2019 The founder of index fund investing and creator of the Vanguard group passed away at 89 today. A staunch supporter of the individual investor who never waivered on his beliefs in spite of heavy opposition from "Traditional" brokers. He completely reinvented individual investing. Wrote his thesis as an undergrad while at Princeton, he placed belief and principles above everything else. Fired twice before founding Vanguard, this guy middle fingered wall street every chance he cude. Had his 1st heart attack at 31, and showed everyone he wasn't goin down without a fight. A true Crusader and Hero for the everyday investor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyhi 24 #3 January 18, 2019 The guys who started Motley Fool said they would never invest in a mutual fund, but if they did, it would be Vanguard's S&P 500 Index fund. I appreciate him now, and will probably appreciate him more after I retire. Aloha, Jack Bogle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
