Our Mission: To expand John C. Bogle’s legacy by promoting the principles of successful investing and financial well-being through education and community.
In troubled times and volatile markets, we remember the words of Jack Bogle.
"Press on regardless."
"Don't peek."
"Don't just do something, stand there!"
"Stay the course."
Bogleheads, we're really doing this! Our long-awaited, much-postponed annual IN-PERSON conference will be held Oct. 12-14, 2022, in the Chicago suburbs. You can't sign up yet, but please read the announcement from
@Rick_Ferri
with some of the details.
Taylor Larimore, one of the original Bogleheads and a living legend, celebrated his 99th birthday on Wednesday.
Happy birthday, dear Taylor, and thank you for your service! You inspire us to live well, help others, and be kind. Sign Taylor's "card" here:
