Lange-Bogle 9: Time is Your Friend, Impulse is Your Enemy.

[@drew9312]

I could listen to Mr Bogle for hours. He talks the most sense of anyone in the financial world. A genius & genuinely nice guy.

[@jperez1910]

Drew B could not agree more, the guru of finance...

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Try Peter Lynch and of course Buffett/Munger. Funny how they all say some similar things.

Jack had an amazing voice. I could just listen to him talk just about any thing.

The world would be a better place if there were more people like Jack.

[@thesauce669]

lmaoo he said the good managers might get fired, the bad ones retire.

Imagine if this was your grandfather

[@cathleensmith4717]

Yeah and we would be too stubborn to listen, losing precious time.

[@systemdeadlock]

The guy who invented indexing wouldn't dare talk or advise against indexing. Seems like a logical position. Just like Buffet who made his fortune picking stocks, wouldn't really talk against stock picking... Who is right? Perhaps we should just stick to the common underlying theme that lead both to their success, instead of the constant pitch against picking vs indexing.

[@Harihar_Patel]

Indexing is good if you don't want to learn finance, stock picking is good if you do want to learn finance.

[@ebenezer659]

Buffet actually endorses indexing as well. To the point that in his will he outlines that he wants his money put in an index fund.

[@philippe177]

If you have knowledge like Buffet, then why the hell you should index. You already know the winners! But it is extraordinary. Out of 7 billion there is only 1 Warren Buffet. This guy talks for the people like you and me, the folks. That's why Jack Bogle was legend. He was the legend of the folks, not the Wall Street.

Both say TIME and the power of compounding. They both say buy when everyone's afraid.

[@Freelancer-bs8jc]

Yes time is your friend and by the time you're 80, you might, just might, be a millionaire... meh

What do you suggest? Day Trading?

if you save nothing you are guaranteed to have nothing

[@johnford5568]

None of this talk of time and emotions is important if you are not funding the accounts. The single most important factor is savings rate. You have to have money saved to earn the returns, then you have to have your emotions under control. Some emotional control is required at the beginning, this is why putting the saving on automatic deposit helps.
