    A book by John Clifton Bogle, founder and former CEO of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group and one of the greatest investors in the history, titled “Enough”(2009) is a relatively quick and good read in the financial literature genre. Although the book’s jacket is not very attractive— it has no photographs or illustrations, its title, in my opinion, is quite catchy, and attracts ones’ attention. Moreover, the title does encapsulate the main message—that the average investor feeds at the bottom of what is today the tremendously costly food chain of investing. The table of contents of the book as well is a good short review of what is awaiting the reader. For example, the Chapter 1 is titled “Too much cost, not enough value”, the Chapter 7 — “Too much Management, Not Enough Leadership”, and the Chapter 8— “Too much focus on things, not enough focus on commitment”.…

Due to the nature of rates and the unpredictable way interest and return rates can fluctuate, Mr. Thomas is advised to invest for aggressive growth now in the accumulation phase in an effort to reap higher returns while still able to absorb losses. As Mr. Thomas moves into the consolidation phase he will be able to adjust the investment strategy to more moderate return/risk investments and while continuing to build his retirement plan. When Mr. Thomas is ready to retire, or shortly before, the investment objective can shift to low risk/low return vehicles.…

While the goal of attending college is to prepare oneself to be successful after school, many college graduates are restrained from doing so.
