Investment Reflections

“Most people are better off with index funds.”

– Warren Buffett

“The index investor doesn’t need to be touched by any of the lunacy that is going on in the ETF market. The ETF industry, which has got to be the greatest marketing idea of this age, is not the greatest investment idea of this age, I can assure you.”

– Jack Bogle

“An index fund dooms you to mediocrity? Absolutely not: It virtually guarantees you superior performance.”

– William Bernstein
