Double $500 for 10 days you will have $500k. Double a penny for 30 days you will have $10 million

Nah. You start with 500 and double it on day 1. Leaving you with 1000 at the end of day 1.

500 is the initial term.

The math you did is if n=0 corresponds to Day 1. Which is not the case. n=1 is day 1.

You should have stayed awake in class like me.
Correct.

The Problem Here Is How It Was Worded

Don't Say You're Gonna Double 500 For 10 Days Then On Day 2 You're Doubling 1000 And Day 3 You're Doubling 2000 That Changes The Math

If You Stick With You How You Worded It It Would Be

500
1000
1500
2000
2500
Etc...

That First 500 Is Your Base, That Way You're Playing With House Money, If You Try And Double EVERYTHING You Have And Take An L You're fukking Broke lol When In THIS Method You're Only Losing $500
I see nothing wrong with the wording. I worked this same problem at NYU but more rigorous.

Your post is an entirely different mathematical expression.

But that is the problem I gave. It is the equation I provided. Why wouldn't I say that? That's like a teacher giving you a problem and you say "You shouldn't make a problem about doubling your money every day. You should make one more simple" :dwillhuh:


If you want to create a new mathematical expression for a new situation, go ahead and do that breh. :dwillhuh:

Compound interest is how Warren Buffet started with $20,000 and is now the 3rd richest person in the world.

recently i've been doing my due diligence on high yield monthly dividend stocks. i may cop some shares very soon.

the currency exchange is one option in terms of business days

Right, because every hedge fund, investment bank, and trader never thought of this amazing strategy.

A country would basically need to collapse for its currency value to be cut in half.
