    Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

    I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value.

    Banks aren't going to provide 5%. Investing in diversified index funds are more likely to provide something around that amount. However, funds have up and down years depending on how the markets perform. So at best you can estimate an average annual rate of return, say 5%. That could mean that in one year, the rate of return is -5%, and the year after, it's +15%. On average, that would be 5% over the two years.

    No a bank will not offer 5% but a mutual fund in the stock market will offer 5% - 10% over time invested monthly. Basically 5-10 cents for every dollar you invest. Whereas bank offer less than 1% 0r less than a penny for every dollar you deposit. Banks can offer 2% in money market accounts but require a "small" $1,000 deposit lol

And if I put in the initial 10.000 dollars for the compound interest, does the bank lock that money for the coming 3 years?

    The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.

    Long term investments adds up to making interests bigger. I started investing in the last quarter of 2019,and I've garnered a cumulative of about $380k from my $20k investment. One other notable factor for interest depends on the portfolio and the commodities involved.

    Your manager would have probably been working for a platform and that's understandable for the commission. Whereas I trade with an Independent Broker Certified by the FINRA body. He takes 15% renumeration at the end of trading cycle from my ROI.

    Yes this is good in theory but how do we apply it to the stock market? Let’s say the stock you have grow in price, you can’t do anything with that growth until you sell it, but if you sell it and go and want to buy more with the difference between what you paid and what is worth now you can’t because the price is obviously higher. it’s a rhetorical gain. The only thing you could do is use the dividend the distribuite (if they do) to buy more of that stock, is that what you mean? Please help me understand, when you say the stock market grows let’s say 10% you don’t get that 10% to reinvest it and use the compound interest do you? I don’t know how in practice to follow that exponential increase of earning interest on interest.

    Look up warren buffet. He uses that same principle and is growing Berkshire Hathaway at an insane speed. I think he’s gained over a billion dollars in net worth this past year and he’s worth just under $90 billion I think. In the beginning the interest may not seem like much, but in the long run I guarantee you’ll be impressed with the large amounts of money you’re making.

    @@NikolaZagorac If you put $100 into a bank account with 5% compound interest per year, you will end the year with $100 + 5%, or $105. The next year, however, you will end with $105 + 5%, or $110.25. The first year, you were given $5 in interest, while the second year you were given $5.25 in interest; that is compound interest. Without compound interest, you would gain $5 every year, because 5% of your initial deposit of $100 will always be $5. This may seem like an insignificant difference - $0.25 over the course of an entire year - but when this is done on a large scale, individuals may be able to generate ever-growing and livable income. Just to hammer the point home, if your initial deposit was $1,000,000 and the bank offered a 5% compound interest rate per year, you would end the year with 1,000,000 + 5%, or $1,050,000. After the second year, you would end with 1,050,000 + 5%, or $1,052,500. The second year you made $52,500 as opposed to the first year where you made $50,000. You can imagine what this value would be after 10, 20, or 30 years.

    You put money into an account. After 1 year with a 5% compound interest it makes you 500 dollars. After it makes those 500$ it adds them into the account on top of the money you put in. So let's say at the start you put in 10.000$ you would now earn a 5% compound interest on 10.500$. And this cycle repeats every year until you rob the bank dry. This is also called exponential growth.
