How compounding works with stocks?
Most market participants think of compounding in terms of bank accounts or specific stocks. While the benefits of compounding are similar in both cases, the primary difference is that the interest must be paid on assets that are near their highs. In a bank account, interest payments are made on a regular schedule based on the balance of the account at the time of payment. However, the value of a stock fluctuates every day. This is an important consideration when investing in stocks.
Many millionaires have saved for many years. This is due to the power of compounding. When investing a lump sum of money in a brokerage account, the amount of money earned is automatically reinvested, with the interest remaining in the account. Moreover, you can invest your dividends and increase your investments. It is a form of investment growth that occurs when a sum is invested repeatedly over time.
If you are thinking about the principle of compounding interest and stocks, you need to remember that the primary way to earn money from a stock is to sell it later, when its value has increased.
