Compounding Explained in a “Not Boring Way”

It sounds like a word they would use on a farm.

As in, “I’ve got some compounding to do down on the back forty so I won’t be able to shuck corn with ya this afternoon”.

In reality, compounding is just one more of those financial terms that many have heard, but few can explain. The first thing you should know about compounding is, obviously, that it is fun to say. The second thing you should know about compounding is that it can be both a force of good and a force of evil in terms of your finances.

Bonds May Be Riskier than Stocks

One of the staple investment beliefs has historically been that “bonds are for protection and stocks are for growth”. While the evidence has generally backed this up, it is important that we balance what worked before with the current and future investment environment. As every investment compliance attorney has said, “past performance is no guarantee of future results”.

From Impatient to Patient Investing

On our video last week, Eddie mentioned this quote from Warren Buffett. Although I have heard it before, I think that this is extremely relevant to repeat as we seem to be back to a “normal” market, after the last few years of relative calm.
