As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make over $400k like some people are this season.

Jack Bogle gave everyone a chance to retire happily. His work should be forever celebrated. Thank you old man, I respected your honesty. Rest in peace.

This guy was so old at the time of this interview and he is sharper in the mind than I was in my 20's. RIP Jack. You did more for the average investor than anyone in history.

[cwgreenley]

Sounds like good advice, but a rather misleading title.

[bkdept]

i can only dream of being this smart and articulate at his age. God bless.

I have the highest respect for Jack Bogle.
He is the guardian saint for the small investor.
Such a contrast to wall street banksters.

[JBoucks]

This guy has no sign of mental decline.

The power of exercising your brain daily and constantly.... you'll thank your younger self later.

Garbage title. Bogle encourages ETFs that spread your risk, such as the Vanguard ETFs. Bogle discourages niche-specific ETFs. Whoever that published this video @ Forbes should be fired.

As I would see it, the go to solution for climate this downturn and high expansion is momentary exchanging, rather than long haul exchanging, most people utilizing these methods are netting a lot of gains, sure the dangers are higher yet once more isn't the ongoing business sector similarly as unsafe?

I assume nothing wrong with DCA 70/30 ETFs for the next decades then - if it goes up, fine. If it gets down, I buy more of the same things.Are there better recommendations? I've got $250k ready money I'd love to invest to secure my future, I'm 31

When I heard the voice, I was like whoa

I love this guy! John Bogel is a true hero to the average American investor!

[snowlion]

Fantastic deep voice combined with a sharp mind. John Bogle is and will ever stay a legend for every investor on earth. Thank you, John

[deadvodka]

how does he have such a crystal clear voice and mind at the age of 85? 
heck if he should chose to sell his secret, I'm sure he could make a ton of money just out of that.

What is the best way to profit from the current market, meanwhile I'm still undecided about investing $400k in my stock portfolio to get some dvidends and minimize risk

[superdingo]

RIP Jack. You'd been one of the greatest people in the history.

[MoneyUnshackled]

The guys a legend. He has changed the world for small investors

[Silveration]

Bogle is extremely smart. He knows the business probably better than anyone.
