Power of Compounding
Power of Compounding
Introductio
n
One of the most basic premises of investing is that your
money multiplies manifold over time and this
multiplication of money is normally referred to as the
"Power of Compounding". The compounding effect of
investing your money is perhaps one of the most
important aspects to achieving long-term wealth. For it
to work, you must be a long-term investor with lots of
patience.
The Rule of 72
The rule of 72 is an easy way to find out in how many
years your money will double at a given interest rate.
It is very simple, divide the number in the title by the
interest percentage per period to get the approximate
number of period needed for doubling.
Suppose the interest rate is 15%, then your money
will double in 72/15= 4.8 years. In case, the interest
rate is 20%, then the money will double in 3.6 years.
Thus the moral of the story is the longer you stay
invested the more money you will make.
