In Defense of Buy and Hold

May 28, 2009 By Jean Keener, CFP, CRPC

Buy and hold has come under a lot of fire lately as investors and advisors question whether there’s a better way.  It’s good to question and re-analyze over time.  But it’s not good to have a knee-jerk reaction to the last year’s stock market roller coaster that can do permanent damage to your long-term returns.

John Bogle, founder of Vanguard funds, has been one of the long-time advocates of low-cost, buy-and-hold investing.  Morningstar Advisor just published a new interview with him where he answers David Drucker’s questions about whether his approach is standing the test of these turbulent markets.  I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but for those of you without the time to read the whole article, Bogle’s answer is YES, buy-and-hold, low-cost investing is still the way to go.
