Timeless article on the legend Warren, his take on the power of compound interest, and the epiphany he had to grasp it at age 10.
Always a great reminder, the earlier you start the easier it gets.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/warren-buffett-and-the-300-000-haircut-11598626805?mod=markets_lead_pos10
Warren Buffett and the $300,000 Haircut There’s a reason the Oracle of Omaha is an ultrabillionaire as he turns 90: He grasped the power of compounding at the age of 10. The sooner the rest of us fully understand it, the better off we’ll be.

Old School Wisdom for the New World of Investing:
https://www.northstarfinancial.com/find_an_advisor/luke-strode/old-school-wisdom-new-world-investing/
If you invested $1,000 in US stocks 50 years ago and let it sit, how much could it hurt if you just missed the best five days in the market over that period?
Turns out a lot.
I loved this piece from Dimensional Funds to help visualize the problem.
If you let that $1,000 sit, today it would be worth $121,353
If you missed just the five best days, it would be worth $77,056
If you missed the 25 best days, it would be worth $26,989
What’s one of the easiest ways to miss these best days? Trying to time the market. That is, attempting to time when to buy into and sell out of the market instead of leaving your investment be.
As the founder of Vanguard, John Bogle, once said about market timing, “After nearly 50 years in this business I don’t know anybody who has done it successfully and consistently. I don’t even know anybody who knows anybody who has.”
If our goal is to maximize the returns on our hard-earned money, the solution is simple—be patient.
Be an investor, not a trader.
If you have questions on how this relates to your personal financial situation, I’m always available to talk.
(Inspired by Dimensional's video "Staying in Your Seat")
