According to Barry Ritholtz, chairman and chief investment officer at Ritholtz Wealth Management, investors often overlook the power of compound interest, which is a big mistake. Investors who follow broadly believe in compound interest benefits, and the ability to not only acquire benefits on principles but also gain reinvested profits in profits is key to successful investments in the long term. “Lifetime is a huge asset if you're trying to post numbers,” Littletz said in Miami Beach's future evidence. “If you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, you have to think. Hey, I've had 50 years to compound the market on my behalf. My job is not to get out of the way and sabotage the magic of compound interest.” Ritholtz gave an eye-opening example. Using the average rate of historical revenue, $1,000 invested in a broader market is worth more than $32 million in 100 years. Investors pointed out that compound interest champion Warren Buffett has doubled his fortune in the past eight years. Buffett, the 94-year-old “Oracle of Omaha,” was given priority at 11-year-old Cities Service, his first highly stock, at $38 per share. By the age of 16, he had accumulated what is worth $53,000 in today's dollars. Today, his Berkshire Hathaway Conglomerate is worth more than a trillion dollars and owns everything from BNSF Railways to ice cream shop chain dairy queen and car insurance company GEICO. “Warren Buffett told people, 'Hey, don't try to do what I'm doing, I just own a wide index. If you want to add flavor to the edges, feel free to,” Risorz said.
