If this book had been written when I started investing in 1950 (and if I had sense enough to read it), I would be a multi-millionaire today.

This is the best history of the evolution of investing I have read.

Thank you -- and Jack Bogle

Best wishes.

Ending quote from the book excerpt:
“I believe that it’s clearly possible to organize a first-rate group of analysts and portfolio managers into an investment firm that can significantly outperform the market averages.”
Pause.
