Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.”

- Isaac Newton


In December, just 2 short months from now, we’ll look into the future...

This month, we gaze back in identifying the past.

Not a history of investing but our own history.

Most people have one or more books or authors that have made an impact on
their thinking but you may wish to share an epiphany that you experienced or talk
about other influences or motivations that helped you reach your present course.

It should be fun; we hope you can join us!




We always try to make time to answer general investing questions.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Second Saturday of each month. All are welcome. Please respond
to the RSVP email so that we can provide a count to our host.

I attended the Bogleheads meeting in Sacramento on June 13 and I found it to be a great experience. It's nice to talk to other Bogleheads face to face. The meeting was well organized and we talked about our philosophy about asset allocation. I hope to attend more meetings this summer.

This thread has been updated with essential data about Sacramento Area Bogleheads' next meeting. 

Read the first post to learn what we will be discussing on 'President's Day' weekend in February.

If you're a reader of this forum and reside in Sacramento or a satellite township or city, you owe it to yourself to check us out. We're a friendly group of people who enjoy talking about personal finance and investing.

It's never too late (or too soon) to start investing or save for retirement. We have people here who have done it successfully and others who are nearer the beginning of their journey.

No one is too smart—or too dumb! The best and brightest have executed trades or performed other actions that were catastrophic to their own financial position. And we have our share of C minus students who became millionaires before the age of 50.

No litmus test for politics or religion, or philosophy to adopt. The markets don't care whether you believe in capitalism or shamanism. As long as you're willing to put some money aside regularly, live beneath your station and salary for a time, it's highly likely that you will create for yourself a secure financial position and have more of your time available to do what pleases you and the others you care most about.

If you're a reader of this forum and reside in Sacramento or the surrounding area you owe it to yourself to check us out. We're a group of friendly people who enjoy talking about personal finance and investing.

It's never too late (or too soon) to start investing for financial independence or retirement. We have people at our meetings who have already done this successfully and others who are much nearer the beginning of the journey.

No one is too smart (or too dumb) to learn to save and invest. Some of the best and brightest were not very smart when managing their money or they made investing mistakes that they now regret. However, we can learn from each other to avoid many of the behavioral traps that investors stumble into.

We're of all ages and political persuasions and like to help people achieve their goals. You're welcome to join us.

Clearly, the markets don't care whether you believe in capitalism or shamanism. If you prioritize saving, live beneath your means and learn all you can about investing, the likely outcome is a secure financial future. You will have the means to do what pleases you and the time for yourself and the others in your life you care most about.

Read the first post to learn what we will be discussing at upcoming meetings beginning in May through August 2016.

If you're a reader of this forum and reside in Sacramento or the surrounding area you owe it to yourself to check us out. We're a group of friendly people who enjoy talking about personal finance and investing.

It's never too late (or too soon) to start investing for financial independence or retirement. We have people at our meetings who have already done this successfully and others who are much nearer the beginning of the journey.

No one is too smart (or too dumb) to learn to save and invest. Some of the best and brightest were not very smart when managing their money or they made investing mistakes that they now regret. However, we can learn from each other to avoid many of the behavioral traps that investors stumble into.

We're of all ages and political persuasions and like to help people achieve their goals. You're welcome to join us.

Clearly, the markets don't care whether you believe in capitalism or shamanism. If you prioritize saving, live beneath your means and learn all you can about investing, the likely outcome is a secure financial future. You will have the means to do what pleases you and the time for yourself and the others in your life you care most about.
