FINAL DAY and a Bogleheads’ Giveaway!
By JLP | October 31, 2006
Today is the last day of the Bogleheads’ October Project. Bringing us the review of the last chapter is Ironman of Political Calculations.
To celebrate the end of this project, I will send a copy of the book to two lucky commenters. All you have to do is a leave a comment, which will enter you in the giveaway. I’ll announce the two randomly-selected winners on Friday. Good Luck!

Great book. One of the better reads on this subject. I checked it out form the local library after a month waiting on the list. I would love to have my own copy and read it once again.

I’m a Diehard and have been using index funds for over 20 years. Therefore, even though I respect the authors, I figured there was little that I haven’t already absorbed and implemented from this book. That said, I won’t say no to a free volume.

I enjoy your blog and the good comments that you have.
October 31st, 2006 at 1:14 pm

I heard him speak at NYU. He is incredibly smart. He called his presentation the “The Relentless Rules of Humble Arithmetic”. And he proposed the CMH ( pun on EMH ), the costs matter hypothesis.
I would be very interested to read what he has to say, at length.

The book looks great.

My local library doesn’t have this book. If I win the giveaway, I will donate it to the library so more people will benefit from it.

I’ve been following the reviews and think this would be an interesting read.
October 31st, 2006 at 3:30 pm
This is one of the few index/passive/MPT investing books I don’t have. The reviews have been great. Thanks to all who contributed. What’s the next project?

Please enter me in the giveaway! Based on what I’ve read from the chapter reviews, this is a book I’ve got to read!

Good book !

Bogle and his index funds are fantastic. And I love books.
November 1st, 2006 at 9:43 pm
I would definitely be interested in this book, it sounds like a great read for someone like me who is just starting out and has no clue.
November 2nd, 2006 at 1:13 pm
Will have to check this book out!
November 2nd, 2006 at 3:01 pm
My library does not have it either, so I will also donate the book if I win it. After I read it of course.
November 2nd, 2006 at 4:02 pm
Thanks a lot for setting up the reviews. I’ve enjoyed most of them and would like to read the entire book soon.
November 2nd, 2006 at 4:26 pm
Well heck - I’d certainly be interested in a copy. Once done I can Freecycle it and give it to some other fiscally conscious reader.
November 2nd, 2006 at 4:47 pm
I read each of the reviews. I am regular on the Diehard site and would enjoy a copy of the book. Good luck to all who entered.

This is a comment from a reader named Dave who couldn’t post.
Dave said:
“Was first introduced to this book on the Diehards website; but have yet to find it at the local library. Did see a copy at Barnes & Noble; but immediately recommended the last copy available to a younger person who was looking for a good guide to investing. Look forward to getting access through the library if I am not fortunate enough to win a copy here. Thanks for what you have done for young investors. Let’s hope that more young people get the right advice for investing while they are young.”

Know basic diehards concepts and would like to read the book.
November 2nd, 2006 at 9:14 pm
Thanks for a chance at this book — it’s always checked out at local library.
November 2nd, 2006 at 10:53 pm
Can’t WAIT to get my hands on this book!
November 2nd, 2006 at 10:54 pm
Sounds well worth the reading time; chapter summaries have been concise and catchy.
November 2nd, 2006 at 11:40 pm
A very generous offer! I hope to be one of the lucky ones!
November 3rd, 2006 at 9:33 am
Great website; looking forward to perhaps earning this free read! I can’t wait -
November 3rd, 2006 at 1:45 pm
This a great book for every novice investor. I plan to give a copy to each of my children and grandchildren.
Hopefully each will be a Diehard!!!
