From the jacket flap

The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing is a handy resource that is written for anyone who may be grappling with a financial problem or simply wants to know how to invest money to get the best results. The Boglehead team of investment experts--Mel Lindauer, Taylor Larimore, and Michael LeBoeuf--provide the answers for gaining a foothold in the market and keeping it there.

Investing can be simple, but it's certainly not simplistic. Over the course of nearly twenty years, the followers of John C. Bogle have evolved from a loose association of investors to a major force with the largest and most active non-commercial financial forum on the Internet. The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing is a hands-on resource for tapping into John C. Bogle's "uncommon" investing wisdom.

Like the first edition, this thoroughly revised and updated second edition of The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing offers investors of all stripes, ages, and investing prowess a DIY handbook that champions the sage investment wisdom of John C. Bogle. Often witty and always wise, the book is filled with sage advice that helps investors take the first step on the road to investment success. And to keep investors on the right path, the authors illustrate how relying on "common sense" promoted by Wall Street is destined to leave you poorer.

The updated second edition includes the latest information on how to profit from backdoor Roth IRAs and Exchange Traded Funds. The book also contains timely updates on estate taxes and gifting, plus changes to the laws regarding traditional as well as 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans. In addition, the authors offer investment warnings and principles that are both precisely accurate and sometimes counterintuitive.

Assuming no extensive knowledge of finance on your part, the Boglehead authors march you step by step toward the winning investment strategy.
