See Terms of Use for the terms and conditions of access to our site.

Certain books and other sources (see the tab  Information sources - books) are referred to more than once on our site. To shorten the text, we refer to these books by reference to the author (for example, Ascah, Allentuck, Betty, Bogleheads, Cadsby, Campbell, Catalano, Cunningham, De Goey, Ellis, Ferri, Mackenzie and Swensen ). The page numbers correspond to the pages of the book edition listed in the tab Information sources - books .

Consult the tab Information- Definitions for the meaning given to various words. For example: an ETF is an exchange-traded fund, and is presumed to be an index fund (invested in a broad market according to a recognized index) unless the contrary is indicated; and a fund includes both an ETF and a traditional mutual fund, and in each case whether indexed or not.

The main investment information on the site is infrequently updated. See the most recent commentaries on current events on the home page; older commentaries may be found  by clicking on Archives. Warning: the main information on the site may not reflect more recent comments on current events.

The date at the end of a section indicates the last time it was updated; however, a section may be updated on one aspect but not in its entirety.

Quotation

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will die. Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up, you’d better be running. African proverb .
