Why it’s on the listA short late book from the author of Winning the Loser’s Game, arguing the same case more bluntly: beating the market is the wrong objective, costs and taxes are what an individual actually controls, and the real work is deciding what the money is for over a horizon of decades rather than quarters.

Where I heard about it

  • @mastersinvest — one of the 46 titles on his “2025 Reading … so far” list, August 2025 — not in bold, so read but not singled out as very good. The full list is transcribed on 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).

Connections

  • 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet) — the list this came from.
  • Index Funds — Ellis has spent fifty years making the case that most investors should own them.
  • Compounding — the argument rests on horizon rather than selection.
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
