How to Have the Perfect Portfolio in Investment - John Bogle’s view

John Clifton "Jack" Bogle (May 8, 1929 – January 16, 2019) was an American investor, business magnate, and philanthropist. He was the founder and chief executive of The Vanguard Group, and is credited with creating the first index fund.

An avid investor and money manager himself, he preached investment over speculation, long-term patience over short-term action, and reducing broker fees as much as possible.

The ideal investment vehicle for Bogle was a low-cost index fund held over a period of a lifetime with dividends reinvested and purchased with dollar cost averaging.

In this video he talked about in his opinion, what an ideal portfolio looks like. He also discussed his own retirement portfolio. Basically he held a 50/50 bonds/shares portfolio in his retirement plan.

This is quite educational. It's crucial for newcomers to keep in mind that the financial markets are highly irrational in the short run. You should constantly be ready for the unexpected. That is how chance operates. Because of the inherent risks in the market, I always favor long-term investments.

I was adviced to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since they can protect my portfolio for retirement of about $170k. I need advice: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in this unstable market or do I look into alternative sectors?

"Maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong." Love this guy! He covers himself.

Before I retired 3years ago I challenged myself to put away 50% of my monthly income into stocks which is quite easy since I lived frugal without debt.I work as an account executive, and I make over $200, 800.$100, 000 goes into dividends and the other $100, 000 goes to my living expenses, I am seeing improvements in my portfolio, dividends look certain, but I have to attribute this to only guidance of a licensed wealth strategist who allocates funds to a plenitude of assets, I have to stay discipline and remember that I am in this for a long term, recently got my first property and looking forward to get another soon.good luck everyone and thanks for the wonderful video

Jack was pivotal in educating the average person on investing. Before then it was the insiders club to older, educated stock brokers. Many thanks to him. ❤

Roughly £120k in my portfolio are in tech/Real estate, can I get an advice on any other stocks that I can acquire to diversify my reserve across multiple markets while creating a comprehensive portfolio allocation that balances my concerns of risk aversion and returns that meet yearly inflation.

I just turned 65, and now retired. When I hit 65, I now have a 50/50 portfolio. I agree that it completely defends on your risk!! I don't like too much risk, and now I am comfortable. It's always a personal matter!! Great video !!!!

It's October of 2022 and stocks are not what's keeping me awake at night. It's bonds. But yeah, Bogle was a genius. The greatest investor of all time. Memory eternal.

[hughjackson]

What an amazing voice he had. Thanks for the wisdom, Jack.

Another great content. You and Gary Joe Wilde are highly recommendable investing experts every investor who wants to get rich investing must know or work with Unfortunately, don't know why Gary deleted his video channels. He is very advanced and experienced in the field.

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.

Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol.

[martyi]

I Love him for his sharing of knowledge, wisdom and humility, he reminds a lot of my grandfather!
RIP Jack!

[medtherockstar]

The brilliant and kind John Bogle, the only advisor every investor ever needs.

[anterosLondon]

Genius he was and such a lovable person

[Raymondjohn]

Well, i do have my reservations about the economic crisis. Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $650K portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated.

[robertdewar]

I agree with JB about rebalancing. Why sell your best performers to buy more of your worst? Doesn't make sense, unless you're very sure of market timing/direction. Which almost no one is.

[vonwolly]

God bless John Bogle truly a decent human being who cared about the little guy

[tad]

Mr. Bogle one of the true HONEST ( Brilliant ) gentleman on Wall Street, cared more about the little guy then the ole mighty dollar, thats why they hated him...R.I.P.
