Description
The Readback team is taking a quick break. We'll be back with a new episode next week. In the meantime, we've selected one of our favorite episodes to re-release:
Anyone with a savings account is familiar with the impact of low interest rates. The most generous savings accounts in the U.S. barely pay 2%. Bonds aren't a whole lot better. But in Europe and much of the world, interest rates are not just low -- they're actually negative. Matt Klein joins host Alex Eule to explain. First published on October 16, 2019.

17: Our Last Chat With Jack Bogle: When Jack Bogle passed away at 89, it was no stretch to say that the modern investing world had lost its most influential figure. Bogle essentially invented index investing and changed the way people access markets and accumulate wealth. Host Alex Eule is joined by Barron's senior writer Leslie Norton who spoke to Bogle several times in the last year and had the very last interview with him in December. by The Readback
