Compounding This is the concept that one earns interest on the interest he have already earned. At first, your money grows slowly, but as time passes, your money grows more rapidly.

When you receive you payment 25% will be added to your deposit and 75% you’ll receive to your account. So you’ll receive (5%*$400)*75%=$15 and your deposit will become $400+(5%*$400)*25%=$405

L

Laddering Purchasing bonds that mature at various intervals. This provides the investor with greater regularity of income. Advice: Bond laddering works by purchasing bonds with different maturities. For example, you might purchase 3 year, 5 year, and 10 year bonds. By doing this, you are giving yourself greater liquidity because your bonds will be maturing periodically. If you simply bought three 10-year bonds, you would have to wait 10 years to see any of your money returned to you. Bond laddering is a good idea for anybody who needs liquidity and a greater certainty of receiving their money at periodic intervals.

Liquidity Liquidity refers to the ability of people to get into and out of investments. A “liquid” stock is a stock with a lot of volume that is easy to buy and sell. A “liquid” investment is an investment which is easy to withdraw. A liquid investment is one that you can buy and sell easily and quickly. An example of a liquid investment is a bank account. You can go to the bank and take your money out quickly and easily. An example of an illiquid investment would be real estate. If you want to sell your house, you have to put
it on the market and could end up waiting over a year to get your money. Or an investment with a non-withdrawable principal. Understanding how liquid you need to be is important. Obviously, if you’re in college, you want to be liquid so you can make your tuition payments. If you’re retired, you’ll want to be liquid to pay your living expenses.
