In his view, you can only win by owning the entire stock market and owning it forever. However, the creation of ETFs did nothing more than encourage investors to trade, which is the evil for long term investment. While I agree that active trading is not a winning strategy, but that's not unique to ETFs. Saying investing in ETFs is all bad is not fair.

I think Bogle goes a bit too far bashing ETFs, but his heart is in the right place. ETFs have inherent advantages and disadvantages. But if they fulfill my needs, sure, I'll buy ETFs!
