"""... as this book documents so well, a foolish attempt to beat the market and get rich quickly will make one's broker rich and oneself much less so."" -- Harry Markowitz, Ph.D., Nobel Laureate in Economics and Professor of Economics at the University of California at San Diego, Rady School of Management ""A no-nonsense guide to disciplined investing, full of deep insights framed in compelling ways."" --Kirkus Reviews ""Hebner gives us good advice presented in a very appealing manner. Index Funds remains one of the most valuable investment guides available."" -- Burton G. Malkiel, Ph.D., Professor of Economics at Princeton University and Author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street, Tenth Edition, 2011 ""It is a valuable reference, and it benefits from many perspicacious commentaries."" -- Paul A. Samuelson, Ph.D., Nobel Laureate in Economics and Author of Inside the Economist's Mind: Conversations with Eminent Economists, 2006 ""It is really beautiful and really well done. I plan to use it as a reference guide."" -- David G. Booth, Founder and Executive Chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc., and Benefactor of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business ""This is an incredibly handsome and wise book.

Author Information

Mark T. Hebner, a highly regarded authority on investing, is an acclaimed author and is featured in an award-winning documentary film titled Index Funds. He also appears in the new Errol Morris documentary film titled Tune Out the Noise. Like many investors, Hebner's conversion to passive investing was sparked by his realization that the traditional brokerage paradigm had substantially hampered his own investment success, causing him to significantly underperform an index fund by as much as $30 million. This striking revelation served as the impetus for his tireless efforts to educate and inform investors so they can make better investment decisions. Hebner is on a mission to change the way the world invests by replacing speculation with an education. With this in mind, he leads a team of writers, artists, graphic designers, mathematicians, statisticians, and researchers to build as well as maintain ifa.com, which is considered one of the internet's most comprehensive and creative websites on investing. Hebner's website, book, and documentary films elegantly set forth long-term data and research that educate and empower investors to make sound investment choices. This special twentieth anniversary and tenth edition of Index Funds: The 12-Step Recovery Program for Active Investors includes new data and research as well as a large section on the Galton board and how it applies to the stock market. Index Funds is arguably the most artistic and data-packed book ever written on investing. It contains more than fifty-four original oil paintings created by distinguished artist Lala Ragimov. It also includes eighty-nine color charts and graphics, many of which reflect as much as ninety-four years of stock market data. Hebner's publisher is confident that no other book on investing has achieved this level of artistic, scientific, and articulate magnificence.
