The Rule of 72
We recently posted a list of handy math tricks, and among them is a quick way to estimate how long it will take to double an investment with a given rate of return.
That trick is the rule of 72: Take your interest rate, and divide it into 72. For example: If you expect a 6% average annual return, the doubling time will be 72/6 = 12 years.
That’s much easier than trying to reverse engineer some complicated compound interest formula.

Why are treasury bond yields important to investors of other securities?
The yields on U.S. Treasury instruments, notably 10-year Treasury bonds, are considered to be an important measuring stick for market confidence and investor appetites. This is because government bonds carry almost zero risk to principle, so all other security investments are forced to add a risk premium to entice savers. When the yield on Treasury bonds moves, all other investments tend to move in kind.
Understanding Treasury Yields
As a debt instrument, a Treasury bond’s yield has an inverse relationship with its price. When there is greater demand for bonds, the price is bid up and the return — based on the coupon rate for Treasury bonds — is relatively lower compared to the higher price.
Investors are most likely to demand low-risk Treasury bonds when times are uncertain. This is because they are protected against absolute market loss. This causes yields to drop, which is traditionally a sign of economic weakness, and it tends to lower the return that other security issuers offer.
How To Use Wolfram Alpha For Finance
As we’ve discussed, Wolfram Alpha is a fantastic website that knows basically everything. But one way that people don’t use it enough is when it comes to money. If you work in finance, play in stocks, invest, have a mortgage, or pay taxes, Wolfram Alpha is here to make your life better. It’s got incredibly detailed data for thousands of companies and if you work in finance it better be a bookmark if you want to make those back of the napkin calculations cake.
