    Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.

      Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

      “NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

    Well put but according to you, compounding is on monthly basis however I feel it should be compounding daily.

      Yes, seen both approaches in use (daily / monthly) and thanks for pointing out. Nonetheless, hope you understood the computation.

    Question. Isn’t interest of an MMF compounded daily but doled out monthly? Therefore wouldn’t the monthly earnings be higher because on the second day it wouldn’t be the original amount that is the principal but rather 100027.40?

    • @kcmwambeta4454
      @kcmwambeta4454  2 роки тому +1

      Good question. Based on my research on most MMF, it's the interest that is calculated daily (hence the daily variance in rate) but compounded monthly. Nonetheless this could vary (share a resource if you find otherwise) though the difference would be quite tiny, approx 0.05% on effective annual rate.

    • @kcmwambeta4454
      @kcmwambeta4454  2 роки тому +1

      On the same grounds, some money market funds published rates are net of withholding tax. Meaning what is published is what you earn.

    • @lenceranyango2940
      @lenceranyango2940 2 роки тому

      My feeling too. I think it should be compounding daily.

    can i continue contributing monthly too, like every month, what will the maths look like?

    • @kcmwambeta4454
      @kcmwambeta4454  Рік тому +6

      Yes you can, and anything you contribute will immediately be included in computation of interest. Example, you had contributed 10k, then 3 days later you add 3k. On the 4th day, your interest will be calculated against 13k and not 10k.

    I always want to ask this question if you invest in a money market fund then you want to withdraw your funds are you allowed to withdraw the initial principle eg in this video the kshs. 100,000

    • @kcmwambeta4454
      @kcmwambeta4454  2 роки тому

      Yes, you can withdraw the entire amount if you so wish. However, withdrawals conditions do vary based on who you invest with. Some allow instant (via USSD or app) others upto 2 days or more.
