Date: June 14th, 2026 7:47 AM Author: Brother Louie I don’t understand the compound interest thing in a 401k. Aren’t you just investing in an index of stocks that go up? How is that compound interest? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874089&forum_id=2).#49937385) |

Date: June 14th, 2026 7:53 AM Author: cowgod If nothing else there’s a dividend yield that gets reinvested
Anyway if it goes up by 8% 2 years in a row that’s technically compound interest
There are other forms of interest that don’t compound per se such as the interest paid on a Bond iirc. |

Date: June 14th, 2026 7:57 AM Author: Charles Tyrwhitt Dad Just put everything in a S&P fund like VOO or FXAIX and forget about it until retirement. If you want to diversify, do 50% VOO 30% VTI and 20% VSUX. These are ETFs covering the S&P, the broader total stock market, and international funds.
Don't ever sell till retirement. Ignore market swings. You lose more money panic selling than leaving the fund alone and accepting the bear markets every now and then. |
