and grandly counterintuitive, the Boglehead authors show how beating the
market is a zero-sum game.Investing can be simple, but it’s certainly not
simplistic. Over the course of twenty years, the followers of John C. Bogle

comprehensive guidance to the investment prowess on display at Bogleheads.org.
