Power of compounding! Old man holds L&T, UltraTech and Karnataka Bank shares worth over ₹100 million | Watch video
Stock market experts have often emphasised two key factors that will help you create wealth over the long term–Discipline and patience. These two powerful practices can generate a pool of money over time especially when it comes to investing. This is because it results in a compounding of wealth, a phenomenon where your investment generates interest, and that interest, in turn, generates more interest. The longer your investment duration, the more advantageous compounding becomes. The two remarkable examples of this theory are Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett and The Big Bull of Dalaal Street Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. Well, several common men, who have also followed the compounding process in the stock market reaped the benefits out of it.
One such person is an old man, whose net worth has surged to more than ₹100 million due to the magic of compounding.
A video of an elderly man has surfaced on the internet wherein he claimed that he has been holding 27,855 shares of L&T, 2,475 shares of UltraTech Cement, and 4,000 shares of the Karnataka Bank. If going by the claims, he would be owning more than ₹100 million of shares at present.
Additionally, the man claimed that he earns approximately ₹6 lakh of dividends annually.
And despite being a millionaire, netizens appreciated the simplicity of the viral elderly man.
