The Bogleheads held their fifteenth annual celebration of Vanguard’s investment principles on September 28-30. Some 250 of Vanguard’s most loyal and enthusiastic clients heard impressive presentations from the likes of Gus Sauter, Bill Bernstein, Chris McIsaac, Greg Davis, Joe Brennan, John Ameriks, Maria Bruno, and Joel Dickson. My own three parts of the program consumed a total of about 6 hours over the course of two days! My remarks included some 56 slides. If you’re interested, you can find the slides on my website. Here is some of the media coverage of the 2016 Bogleheads conference.
“Meet the Ordinary People Vanguard’s Jack Bogle Made Rich”; “Jack Bogle on the Retirement Crisis, Wells Fargo’s Crackup, and ‘Hamilton’”; “The Case Against ETFs”; and “What Will the Market Bring in 2017? Vanguard’s Best Guesses,” The Street. Nora Morrison from Jim Cramer’s The Street website wrote four articles summarizing my comments as well as those from some of the other speakers at the conference.
“Jack Bogle Sounds Off: 10 Provocative New Pronouncements from the Legendary Founder of Vanguard,” and “A Retirement Crisis? There Are Actually Three, Says Vanguard Founder Jack Bogle,” Money. Karen Damato, formerly of the Wall Street Journal, was in attendance and wrote these summaries of my comments at the conference. (NOTE: The term “financial buccaneers” applied not to ETFs as a group, but to those “fringe ETFs” that are designed for speculators.)
“What Bogle’s 10-Year Stock Forecast Means for Muni Bond Holders,” Financial Planning. Financial advisor and author Allan Roth, who was also one of the speakers at the conference, wrote this piece about the potential impact lower future returns could have on the municipal bond market.
Best,
Jack
