Personal Review: Straight Talk on Investing: What You Need to
Know by Jack Brennan
The Vanguard Group is the world's second-biggest mutual fund company,
and author Jack Brennan is its chairman and CEO. When this book was
published, Vanguard had 15 million shareholders and approximately $600
billion under management. Vanguard pioneered index funds, a type of
investment that aims to reflect, not beat, the returns of the market.
Because Vanguard does not pay fund managers to outguess the market, it
can keep fund fees and expenses low. This economy is one of its primary
assets. Brennan's book, written with Marta McCave, recapitulates sound
principles of long-term investing in a straightforward, user-friendly way and
details numerous kinds of investments. He does not tell you how to strike it
rich in the markets or discover the next Microsoft or recognize unusual
patterns in price charts. Better yet, he tells you how to build wealth the
unexciting but generally reliable way: slowly, carefully and dispassionately.
We recommend this excellent book to those who don't want to get rich
quick, but who would be very content to get rich eventually. Warning: this
book is not for the greedy.
