To me, long means more than 30 years. So for me, should I only work with an advisor with that long a track record? Also, just having *a* track record for some long period of time doesn't necessarily mean it is a good record. ;-) So, if I might be so bold as to ask for further clarification, *how* long and *how good* a track record should I demand so that I know I'm working with one of the best in the business? Regarding the answer to my second question, I haven't read Bogle's book, but I know that Bogle/Vanguard have a reputation for low fees. However, they still use the % on assets under management model (open-end mutual fund expense ratios). So if Bogle rails against that model in his book, he (or at least Vanguard) sure doesn't practice what he preaches.
