According to data released by the Vanguard Group itself, the average "go-it-alone" Vanguard investor has grown his or her nest egg from $100,000 to $384,095 in the past 16 years.

Not bad.

But what if I told you investors who followed my advice, have grown his or her nest egg from $100,000 to $905,530 in the past 16 years.

That's 136% more! Think about that for a sec. That's 136% more home. 136% more car. 136% more financial security. Do I have your full attention now?

Here are 6 ways you will win with Vanguard in 2008:

1. You will never again be blindsided.

Everything I do is designed to look squarely at risk first. "The stock market," Jack Bogle recently warned, "is not an actuarial table." Reward cannot be controlled. But risk can be controlled. This means getting away from underperforming, poorly run, undiversified or tax-inefficient funds. It means tirelessly asking, "What if?"

It means winning—by first guarding against loss. You don't have to do this on your own, either. I am here to help you. I have dedicated my life to controlling risk.

From this day forward, your wealth will withstand the worst… and take advantage of the best… so that your portfolio can push forward to greater rewards.

2. You will have a plan.

A simple plan. In my new report Action Plan for Vanguard Investors, I lay out all the elements of our plan, and I hope you will see that it is both unwavering in its basic principles and utterly dedicated to simplicity. A lifetime of helping others has taught me this: Simplicity works, and complexity does not. Although Vanguard was founded upon this very principle, today it has deserted simplicity. I can help you restore simplicity to your portfolio.

You will know what to do from this day forward. You will focus on the long term, the most cost-efficient and the best, and let all other considerations drop away. You will feel as if a great burden has been lifted from your shoulders.

3. You will be in just the Best-of-Best Vanguard funds from now on.

It is a wonderful thing to look at your monthly statement and know that you have put your money in the right funds. To see your funds move relentlessly forward, while others fall behind. It is a wonderful thing not to second-guess your decisions, not to be plagued by doubts as losses mount. From this day forward you will own the best, the cream-of-the-crop, each selected and matched together in a portfolio that protects you and gets you where you want to go.

4. You'll "know the ropes."

Vanguard has lots of rules and, in general, they make sense. So it pays to know what's possible and what's not. It also pays to know when to ask that a rule be waived in your particular case (yes, you can). It pays to know when to bend a rule, knowing that everyone will look the other way (yes, they will). I know the costly traps, the smart tricks and the secret loopholes that can make a big difference.

Example: If you were planning on buying one particular fund soon, but wake up tomorrow to find it has slammed shut its doors, you'd be very frustrated, I'm sure. With me at your side, you'll never say, "Who was to know?" You'll know, and you'll be able to act. You'll always get, as Jack Bogle likes to say, "a fair shake."

5. You will possess an 136% advantage!

I happen to agree passionately with Warren Buffett that most advice (and most money management) subtracts value from the equation. You pay more and get less! I decided at the outset, over a decade ago, that I would give Vanguard investors a substantial advantage—or I would quit. Well, I'm still here, and my following has grown and become very loyal. Why? Because, compared with the published returns of the average go-it-alone Vanguard investor, those who have followed my advice have made 136% more profit. I am very proud of this record, and I can give you that 136% increase in returns when you join us at The Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors.

6. You get a watchful, concerned, seasoned adviser, walking every step of the way with you.

I have a remarkable personal relationship with my readers. I personally write each letter, each Weekly Hotline Update, as if I were writing to just one person. YOU. This is possible because I listen. I read your letters as if they were from my own family.  I also "eat my own cooking." My fortunes, and my entire family's, are tied to my own advice. I also practice my financial strategies, in the trenches every day, running the family wealth of our many clients. So, as you can appreciate, my advice is practical, personal, close-to-home, and definitely not "theoretical."

When the terrorist attacks hit and later, when U.S. troops entered Iraq, one of my first concerns was to get in touch with my subscribers, to remind them of our strategy and to help stop panic. I think this type of personal caring is so important these days. Another way I show my concern for you is this: If you're not completely satisfied with the service I give you, you can have all your money back.
