Recommended Reading by Warren Buffet in his March 2013 Letter to Shareholders

How speculation has come to dominate investment--a hard-hitting look from the creator of the first index fund.

Over the course of his sixty-year career in the mutual fund industry, Vanguard Group founder John C. Bogle has witnessed a massive shift in the culture of the financial sector. The prudent, value-adding culture of long-term investment has been crowded out by an aggressive, value-destroying culture of short-term speculation. Mr. Bogle has not been merely an eye-witness to these changes, but one of the financial sector's most active participants. In The Clash of the Cultures, he urges a return to the common sense principles of long-term investing.

Provocative and refreshingly candid, this book discusses Mr. Bogle's views on the changing culture in the mutual fund industry, how speculation has invaded our national retirement system, the failure of our institutional money managers to effectively participate in corporate governance, and the need for a federal standard of fiduciary duty.

Mr. Bogle recounts the history of the index mutual fund, how he created it, and how exchange-traded index funds have altered its original concept of long-term investing. He also presents a first-hand history of Wellington Fund, a real-world case study on the success of investment and the failure of speculation. The book concludes with ten simple rules that will help investors meet their financial goals. Here, he presents a common sense strategy that "may not be the best strategy ever devised. But the number of strategies that are worse is infinite."

The Clash of the Cultures: Investment vs. Speculation completes the trilogy of best-selling books, beginning with Bogle on Investing: The First 50 Years (2001) and Don't Count on It (2011)

Made very well!~!
Color: Frog&strawberry, Color: Frog&strawberry
Arrived as pictured. Boxed nice and cute. Suitable to send as a gift or for retail sales. These are not only adorable but wash very well. My grandson and I both like them. He said the strawberry was for me and he took the frog. I normally have to bribe him to bathe but all I have to say is froggy is waiting and he runs in!~!~ I love my strawberry and it really cleans well. Such fun and I'm delighted with them both. The size is perfect and I'm grateful. We have been using them for awhile to and they have held up like new. Worth the cost and priced very fair.

Super Cute Sponges for kids!
Color: Frog&strawberry, Color: Frog&strawberry
This is a pack of super cute kids bath sponges. These are sponges attached to loofahs that have a loop on them and can be hung to dry. These are shaped, One looked like a frog and the other like a strawberry making this pack accommodate both boy and girls. These sponges work very well and feel like they're made of a decent quality. The sponge area is very soft and the loofahs feel well made. These are a perfect size for the kiddos. These do a good job at lathering up the suds for the little ones. These also feel like they have a good durability and don't feel like they're gonna fall apart anytime soon. These are super cute and would make a great gift as well. The value on this is not very expensive. These are affordable especially for gifting. giving this an expected value in my opinion and at the time of this review. Overall, these sponges are super cute and would make a fantastic gifts for little ones. I would have no issues recommending these.
