How to Double Your Money in Seven Years
In this video, Jim Cramer explains how compounding can help investors build and preserve wealth. He provides suggestions for how young people can use the stock market to build financial independence.
1.
According to Jim Cramer, if you invest $1,000 in the S&P 500, how much can you expect your investment to be worth in 35 years?
2.
Gather data over the past 10 years for the level of the S&P 500. How many of those years did the S&P 500 have a return of at least 10%? If you had invested in $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund 10 years ago, would you have doubled your money yet? Is your answer consistent with Jim Cramer’s message?
