1. Looking Back at 2000
-----------------------
In the first Chairman's Corner this year, John Brennan reminds us that
the rocky ride in the securities markets in 2000 taught us valuable
lessons: diversify, keep a long-term perspective, and avoid the
temptation of chasing "hot" performers. In Vanguard Views, Robert
Auwaerter of Vanguard Fixed Income Group highlights why Y2K was a good
year for bonds.

2. 401(k) Plans Turn 20--And They've Never Looked Better

401(k) plan, American workers have been enjoying the benefits of pretax
retirement plan contributions, employer matches, and tax-deferred
compounding for two decades. Find out more about these investment
programs and how to get the most out of your retirement plan at work.

In early January, we introduced four new monthly features on
Vanguard.com(TM). Each aims to make you a smarter investor: Ground
yourself in the fundamentals of investing, find out the impact that
changes in your life have on your finances, discover how the securities
markets have evolved, or dive into funds that interest you.

4. Exercise, Eat Right, and Invest Wisely

If you're like many Americans, you may have made some New Year's
resolutions. So, while you're making the effort to improve and organize
your life, why not do the same for your financial plans?

5. Bye-Bye Dotted Lines--Open an Ink-Free Account
-------------------------------------------------
It's never been easier to open an account at Vanguard. As a registered
user of Vanguard.com, you can open a new account by signing an
application with the click of a mouse thanks to e-signature technology.
In most cases, you can even transfer funds into your new account
electronically. A federal law enacted on October 1, 2000, gives e-
signatures the same legal weight as pen-and-ink ones.
