Summary

Index Funds: The 12-Step Recovery Program for Active Investors is a documentary based on the book that is changing the way the world invests by replacing speculation with an education. Author, Mark Hebner, describes his foundational beginnings that ultimately led to the revelation of the ugly truth - that brokerage firms did not get rich by enhancing their client's wealth, but rather (and ironically) by depleting it.

For the novice or seasoned expert, This movie is fantastic! The substance, quality, editing, art work and Mark are all woven together to tell a compelling story. - Brian Schroeder

This wonderful new documentary by Mark Hebner gives great insight how financial markets really work. - Jan de Vries RBA

I have to congratulate you on the wonderful and superb movie. I enjoyed it even more because I must have read the book at least a dozen times by now....and I have read Steps 2 & 3, at least 25 times!

I have saved the movie both on my smartphone and my tab for viewing it again and again and again. - Sameer Desai

Mr. Hebner, like Jack Bogle, is on a mission to change the way the world invests by replacing speculation with education. - Taylor Larimore

Great information... again! Really bad, however, that it's not on national television. People really don't get it! The investment industry keeps extracting an unfair amount of money out of our pension - André Paré

This presentation is exceptional, well documented and inspiring. Thank you very much - Daniel Risquez

I liked this movie and it summarized a lot of reading I've been doing lately about investing and the pitfalls of constant trading and actively managed funds. I hope people that are trying to figure out what to do with their 401k and/or IRA will watch this and consider the ideas presented before trying to beat the market by selecting stocks themselves or hoping that some "experts" with a flashy ad will.

Beyond the markets and investing advice, I also like the movie's spirit of promoting decision making with logic and empirical evidence. That should be encouraged in all facets of life. - Philip J. Dolan

Very solid information about markets. Well done. - Amazon Customer

Safest way to make money by investment. - Midwest

Easy to understand iinformation - Jason Espinoza
