And in this way humor can add to a learning experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon Sense Investing is based on the philosophy of mutual fund investing legend, John C. Bogle. Reduced to a sentence it might be: buy broadly diversified mutual funds at the lowest possible cost, and then hold on to them. Today, it is broadly accepted wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBogle is known for showing how this common sense goes against human nature. Instead of \"you get what you pay for,\" it's \"we investors as a group get precisely what we don't pay for. So if we pay nothing, we get everything.\"-alluding to the devastation from small fees over a long period.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a background barrage of financial noise about daily market conditions, our human nature is: \"Don't just stand there. Do something \" Bogle shows us that common sense investing requires exactly the opposite: \"Don't do something, just stand there \"-alluding to the need to avoid speculating and to invest for the long-term. Or: \"Stay the course.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCartoonist B.J.
