Jack Bogle reveals the biggest risk of the next financial crisis and why he’s still investing

Here is the link.

That’s because buying and holding for the long term tends to be an effective investing strategy, no matter the economic climate. As Bogle told CNBC: “If you hold the stock market, you will grow with America.”

Warren Buffett agrees. “No matter what the headlines say … American business is going to do fine over time,” the Oracle of Omaha told Judy Woodruff of PBS NewsHour in 2017. “Occasionally we go off the tracks with bubbles … but it will never permanently derail us.”

Markets go up and down every day but that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s significance to every move. As an investor, it helps to be patient and to accept a certain level of uncertainty. Since buying his first stock, decades have gone by and, in all those years, “I’ve never known what the market is going to do the next day,” Buffett said. “That’s not my game. My game is to decide whether I’m in the right economy, which America has definitely been ever since that time.”
