There's the story that, if the Indians wanted to buy back Manhattan, they would have had to pay more than $2.5 trillion by January 1, 2000. That's what the $24 sale price in 1626 would have compounded into at 7 percent annual rates. And the clock keeps ticking.
Next year, Manhattan's theoretical value jumps by $175 billion (7 percent of $2.5 trillion). The following year, another $187 billion is added. The year after that, $200 billion, and so on.
Letting wealth accumulate and compound unfettered and, if possible, untaxed is a potent formula individuals should use to increase their standard of living.
It goes without saying that to an investor, the power of compounding is paramount.
Keep INVESTING Simple and Safe (KISS) ****Investment Philosophy, Strategy and various Valuation Methods**** The same forces that bring risk into investing in the stock market also make possible the large gains many investors enjoy. It’s true that the fluctuations in the market make for losses as well as gains but if you have a proven strategy and stick with it over the long term you will be a winner!****Warren Buffett: Rule No. 1 - Never lose money. Rule No. 2 - Never forget Rule No. 1.
