FYI: The superstitious have called it the devil’s invention. Fools, a communist threat. I call it the most efficient profit extraction machine ever evented. Regardless what you call it, one thing is certain— Jack Bogle’s creation, the index fund, is here to stay. There’s more than $13 trillion invested in index or passively-run mutual and exchange-traded funds worldwide, more than half of that at Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street alone.
