What a stock index is

A stock index is a single number that tracks a defined basket of companies. It is a score for that basket, not a store where you buy the fruit. Averaging is a teaching shortcut, not a weighting lecture. Not advice.

Compound Interest

Compound interest is interest calculated on both the original amount and interest already earned. Same rate, a larger base over time. This is a definition, not a return forecast or advice.
