So many of our important endeavors in life come down to long-term compounding over the years. Our retirement, the success of our kids, our health.

Here’s some of what I’ve noticed. 5 Observations On Compounding You’ve got to stay in the game to experience it – If all the benefits come at the end, from compounding, then the key is to stay in it long term.

My Dad explained supply and demand to me in 3rd grade. He said, “When there’s more demand than supply, prices go up. When there’s more supply than demand, prices will go down.” So simple.

That was my first lesson in markets and I guess that’s when I got hooked. Now, here we are 25 years later… Its a core memory for me. Just as much as watching Michael Jordan and the Bulls complete the second 3-peat. I’m quite positive he doesn’t remember teaching me t ..read more
