Investment: In-Your-Face Champion and Business Suit

investment: Advocate and provocateur Bogle passed away on Wednesday at age 89, according to Market Watch. He was one of nine investing luminaries profiled in my 2001 book, Investment Titans Investment Insights from the Minds That Move Wall Street, and a consistent source of wisdom and insight about investors and the investment business. Bogle was an outspoken, iconoclastic, in-your-face champion for low-cost, buy-and-hold investing a populist in a business suit who spent six decades criticizing, cajoling and challenging his fund-industry colleagues to give small investors what he called a fair shake. This article is adapted from the chapter of that book featuring Bogle, titled The Average Outperforms. He certainly looked the part tall and lanky with a sonorous voice, a Princeton-educated everyman hammering out liberty and justice for small investors. Bogle relished his role as an advocate and provocateur. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
