The Power of Compounding

  1. 1% return per day for a year (365 days) will generate NOT 365% returns but a whopping "3600%" returns.   2. If a Stock gives 100% return every year for 5 continous years, then the total return is NOT 500% but instead, it is a whopping "3200%".   Explanation: 100% increase every year means doubling every year. So, in 5 years, it will become 2^5=32 times initial Investment.   3. If you invest Rs. 10L (only one time) for 50 years at a rate of return of say 14%, it doubles every 5 years, so, in 50 years there are 50/5 = 10 time period. So, Rs. 10L will become 2^10 = 1024 times ie Rs. 102 Cr.   4. Reverse case/mirror image of Compounding is "Inflation". It destroys your wealth "exponentially".   5. Example of Inflation or Money Devaluation:-   If you have Rs. 100 and Potato Price is Rs. 4/Kg today, you can buy 25 Kg of Potato for Rs. 100.   Next year, Potato price becomes Rs. 5/Kg. Thus the same Rs. 100 is able to buy ...
