Hi Paul,
I love the podcast. Thanks for pointing your listeners to the John Bogle interview on Bill Moyers Journal. The interview was excellent. I admire the work of both those men and their discussion was compelling. I have not read Bogle’s Battle for the Soul of Capitalism but I’ll pick it up as soon as I finish reading Mark Hebner’s Index Funds: The 12 Step Program for Active Investors. I can’t believe what a gorgeous quality book that is at the bargain price of $13.57 through Amazon.com.
Your show is one of my must listen to podcasts every week. Thanks for the great work and advice.
