Is it worth it being a Boglehead?
– myownadvisor.ca
Over the last few weeks, there were some opposing views about index investing written in the Globe and Mail. In a column entitled Can a Boglehead Approach to Investing Work? the following was written:
“Those who like the idea of simply owning index funds because of the low cost need to be cautious, says Vancouver’s Lori Pinkowski, portfolio manager and senior vice-president, private client group, at Raymond James-Pinkowski-Allen Financial Group. “They are like any other investment and need to be actively managed,” Ms. Pinkowski says. “For example, if you bought a US Equity index in 2000 it would have taken you almost 13 years to make any money on it. I can’t imagine investors would be happy with that.”
No money made over 13 years in U.S. equities? Is that the power and returns that comes with indexing?
“Bogleheads” take their name from Vanguard Group founder John Bogle who favours a low-cost, simplified approach to investing using products that track the index instead of trying to beat it…

Chinese regulators blame trading frenzy that roiled stock markets on computer design error
– canadianbusiness.com
BEIJING, China – A trading frenzy that caused Chinese stock prices to swing wildly last week was caused by a design flaw in a brokerage’s computer, the market regulator said Sunday.
The avalanche of orders Friday from Everbright Securities Ltd. caused China’s main market index to surge nearly 6 per cent in 3 minutes before it dropped back. It ended the day down 0.6 per cent.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission said its investigators concluded the buying frenzy was not the result of human error. It said Everbright’s computer system had design flaws in systems that should limit orders and prices.
A statement on the agency’s website gave no indication whether Everbright might face penalties.
Everbright’s orders caused trading volume to spike up more than 50 per cent above Thursday’s level. Prices of major companies such as PetroChina Ltd. and state-owned banks surged by their maximum daily limit of 10 per cent before falling back.
Everbright’s orders totalled 23…
