Greg Zuckerman is an award-winning Special Writer at the Wall Street Journal and the author of several books on financial firms, hedge funds, trading, and other investing and business-related topics. This podcast focuses on trading and the fierce competition individuals face when attempting to trade against sophisticated hedge funds that employ the best and brightest mathematical minds in the business. We discuss Greg's book, The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution.   Rick Ferri, CFA, a long-time Boglehead and investment adviser, hosts the Bogleheads on Investing podcast. The Bogleheads are a group of like-minded individual investors who follow the general investment and business beliefs of John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO of the Vanguard Group. It is a conflict-free community where individual investors reach out and provide education, assistance, and relevant information to other investors of all experience levels at no cost. The organization supports a free forum at Bogleheads.org, and the wiki site is Bogleheads® wiki.    Since 2000, the Bogleheads have held national conferences in major cities nationwide. Local Chapters in the US and a few foreign chapters meet regularly. New Chapters are added regularly. All Bogleheads activities are coordinated by volunteers who contribute their time and talent.   This podcast is supported by the John C. Bogle Center for Financial Literacy, a non-profit organization approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity on February 6, 2012. Your tax-deductible donation to the Bogle Center is appreciated.  

There’s a lot of noise in the world of finance, but the Bogleheads On Investing Podcast cuts through it by returning to a source of timeless sense. This podcast draws directly from the philosophy of John C. Bogle, the founder of Vanguard and pioneer of index investing for everyday people. Rather than chasing trends or stock tips, each conversation explores the foundational principles Bogle championed: low-cost, long-term, and disciplined strategy. You’ll hear from a variety of voices-authors, financial experts, and seasoned investors-who apply these core ideas to real-world questions about markets, retirement, and personal finance. The discussions are thoughtful and grounded, focusing on what investors can control while tuning out the daily frenzy. It’s a resource for anyone looking to build wealth steadily without complication, offering practical wisdom that stands the test of time. Tune in for a calm, reasoned perspective that turns investing from a source of stress into a path toward financial freedom.
