Compound Interest is The Eighth Wonder of the World....
It can help you to earn a million or billion..
How?
Refer to Int. Investor blog (http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/intelligent_investor_notes/53832.jsp), he aim to earn 3 million with a 150k capital, 6k saving per year and compound his investment with 15%. Attached is the screen capture from the CAGR Calculator.
From the Stock Pick Contest 2014 (http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/stock_pick_2014/67447.jsp), the top 5 able to get 60.97%, 51.22%, 32.04%, 28.12% and 14.05% respectively.....
If I someone using the 100k capital and achive the average result of the top 5 - sum(60.97%, 51.22%, 32.04%, 28.12% , 14.05%)/5 = 37.28% for the next 30 years....... What's will be the amount??
I am finding the answer with the same CAGR Calculator, and the answer is $ 1,343,439,505.57 [1.3B]
What if the investment return on 37.28% reduce 50% to 18.64% only? The CAGR Calculator show me $ 16,862,972.84 [16M]

the 3rd scenario is a bit unrealistic, with RM 100 bil , you wont be able to continue making 60% p.a. as the capital has grown too big... In fact I think 15% is already a very difficult task if we re talking about a 30 year time frame...

I agree with NOBY. I am very happy if I am able to get 15% for 30 years. My task is relatively easier in view of my small capital.

The computational in theory are correct. However, when taking into account of realism, you may not be making consistent returns for the next 30 years. Some years you may make loss or some years you may make significant returns. Besides, the computation shows that the investor did not take a single cent out of the fund which i think would be impossible when you have few millions in your fund.

Well said!
It is a norm that 80% volume come from penny stock trading. The promise of big gains is why investors dabble in penny stock in the first place, leaving only a handful long terms investors. Even for the most committed long term investors, compounding is a monumental task to achieve. Compound investor is a rare breed indeed.
