Movies and Books we reviewed this month:

  • The Bogle Effect, How John Bogle and Vanguard Turned Wall Street Inside Out and Saved Investors Trillions by Eric Balchunas – There are a lot of misconceptions about Bogle, especially amongst his fans and the Bogleheads community. In this article, we will look at who you may think Bogle was but wasn’t, and what will forever remain the Bogle effect. Read the review.
  • Just Keep Buying by Nick Maggiulli is one of the newest personal finance guides on the market. It is a good choice for those who have already recognized the importance of saving and investing or those who have a lump sum they would like to invest. As our readers will know we rarely give a book maximum score for both Investing Concepts and Personal Finance Know-how. Nick’s book is an exception. Read the review.
