    Bogle didn’t like the easy liquidity of S&P 500 ETF’s but if you buy and hold it’s fine to own. Don’t attempt to trade. I own an index fund in my 401k and Voo ETF in my other accounts.

  2. Daniel Verrill

    Why do some call him jack bogle and others call him john bogle?

  3. Muthukumar Rajagopalan

    Misleading title for the video. But as always, great wisdom from the late Mr. Bogle.

  4. Geoff Gordon

    Sticking with mutual funds. Learned about them in highschool economics.

  5. TheSmartLawyer

    Bogle is a legend and his legacy is to the people

    dude youre just discouraging. Like when kevin o leary tries to descourage people from investing in bitcoin. Guys like him were telling you that bitcoin is garbage to keep the price down while they secretly invest in it.

  7. Chris Gali

    Brilliant!

  8. omni 1

    Many long term investor age so well, someone needs to study why!

  9. mescetacy

    i bet a cloud computing etf has huge returns since 2013

  10. w jones

    Getting old sucks.

  11. Nitish Bansal

    I thought a dubbing artist did the voice part!

  12. ☆OMG!☆

    Some etfs are doing really good

  13. investopia !

    Misleading title just to be eye-catching. Jack Bogle in support of ETFs tracking total stock market, S&P, international, emerging markets and bonds with limitation.

  14. josenros

    If you wondered what Jack Bogle might have thought about Cathie Wood's ARK funds, wonder no more.

    Legit looks like a 41 year old with hollywood make up on 😮

    Forbes, get some toilet paper cause you stink

    3:18, I'm a web developer and I work in marketing. I know a bit about "the cloud" and when I saw the holdings of one of these "Cloud" funds Jack is described. The expense ratio of 0.68 set my marketing alarm went off. Buying an ETF is buying a share of that fund, not bits of the stocks within it. They can change at any time and you're putting a lot of trust in that fund manager.

    Didn't ETF have their best year in 2020?

  19. thecactuus

    I was looking at her legs thinking "I would"

  20. john jones

    Love Bogle but a cloud computing ETF turned out to be not so crazy an idea.

  21. Jake l

    Change the title ffs. Vanguards main products are ETFs

  22. branding111

    He liked index funds but no ETFs because with ETFs you dont own or hold the shares!!! An ETF is a fictive instrument!

  23. Thomas M

    Spicy Jack is the second best Jack, just behind Stay The Course Jack.

  24. Roger

    I own a cloud computing etf lol. It’s made me lots of money.

  25. Sergi Medina

    If everybody buys ETF's then there's no market.

  26. Balraj Singh

    Misleading title.

  27. William Garcia

    A guest on The Wall Street Journal Report spoke sometime last week about making over $431,000 in 4months with a capital of $100,000, which made me realize that as a beginner i have alot to learn, so please assist me with any pointers or tips that would help me make this much profit.

  28. Doug Ro

    Not sure why he wouldn’t like ETF’s? Unlike mutual funds, where you only get the NAV price at the close of the market, ETF’s trade continuously through the day and allow you to sell if there is a market meltdown, and buy on daily dips.

    Million Dollar Potential in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that is guaranteed to be far more challenging and exciting than CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    Over time, Ruvol will surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    Why am I so sure about this? Because I am an avid chess player myself. The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It’s for this reason I invented Ruvol where every game is always challenging and exciting to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED?

    Ruvol is played somewhat like chess. I purposely invented Ruvol to give chess a direct “apple-to-apple” competition.

    Like chess, Ruvol is played by two players. It uses a board that is rectangular in shape but containing more number of squares than chess. Like chess, it has equal number of pieces on each side of the board, where each type of piece moves in distinct ways. However, if the way to win chess is to checkmate the opponent’s king, the way to win Ruvol is to be able to cross a designated line.

    But there’s one biggest advantage Ruvol has over chess that makes Ruvol a very challenging game to play. Unlike chess, the Ruvol pieces are randomly placed at the start of every game which makes it impossible for any clever player to memorize the moves. Fischer Random Chess, also known as Chess960, likewise introduced a random set up, but with many exceptions. Ruvol is 100% random.

    At present, there is no other board game in the world within the same category of chess “where chess players can switch to.” Chess is totally a monopoly in its class. Chess players can now have a great alternative in Ruvol.

    A MILLION DOLLAR POTENTIAL IN RUVOL

    The people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. These 800 million players comprise the “Total Potential Buyers” of Ruvol across the globe. At an average profit of just US$3 per set, the “Global Income Potential” of Ruvol then is US$2.4 billion. Assuming only 1% of it will buy each year, the annual global potential sale of Ruvol is US$24M.

    I AM SELLING MY COPYRIGHT TO RUVOL.

    For the reason that I don’t have the resources to publish Ruvol on a global scale, I find it “wiser” to simply sell my copyright.

    If you’re interested to buy my copyright, email me your BEST PRICE OFFER. My email address is: rodolfovitangcol@gmail.com.

    Thanks and God bless!
