Ben Carlson: Just Half A Percent: Compound Interest

FYI: Compound interest may be considered the 8th wonder of the world, but it’s the kind of sight that’s going to take a long time to see in person.

The problem for most people is the majority of the gains from compounding come at the end and very few have the patience necessary to get to that point. But if you do have the ability to let time be your friend in the markets, even minor advantages can lead to much better outcomes.

Ted
