Can someone shed some light on the whereabouts of an Investment U newsletter (9/22/11 ?), which talked about the 0.001% of the population making about 94% of the nation’s wealth and the Wall Street folks set to profit immensely through capitalism’s new frontier, the Derivatives market?

How has buy-and-hold done for the Japanese retail consumer?

We are looking more and more like Japan.

Time to change strategies…

I found the article to be less… It’s understandable for this man to prefer ‘buy and hold’, that’s what made Vanguard, but those days are gone. To lay the blame at the foot of GW Bush is beyond partisan, both parties share the blame. And, finally, raising taxes remains the single minded mantra of the democrats. Why not champion cutting spending.

“It is a real waste of the nation’s resources. It makes no useful contribution to society”

This statement by Mr Bogle has to be heard by the western world particularly its leaders.
What goes on in Wall St and most western banks is basically robbing one another and the best robber wins ie Goldman Sachs John Pauson etc etc these people create no wealth

The simple mantra “Give credit where credit is due’ has to be the new or should I say real mantra for our western economies. Where is it due ? Its due to any enterprising person or company who produce goods and services that society needs

Yours sincerly

I admire Mr. Bogle for taking a stand. I admire my elders (I am 63), but I do not swallow: hook, line and sinker. I could never follow one political party to the end of time. Too much ado blaming George Bush and far be it from me to encourage raising taxes. People got sick of mutual funds hemming themselves in by their own short-sighted objective. People got tired of seeing their fortunes build and erode by one-way street funds. They want you to put together a herd of these funds, and call it diversification. How about providing freedom in the objectives of the fund and actively managing it for a change?

The guy is washed up. Markets have changed and he is stuck in the past. I see he is a liberal and that raises a big red flag right there. Levying taxes while playing along with the Obama regime is no icon investor in my book. I read enough, NEXT…
