<prompt> Human: Im asking about Robinhood specifically.Assistant: Compounding growth comes from automatically reinvesting dividends and the fact that future returns should grow and your basis grows each year. Human: Lets say I invest 100 in stock X. By the end of the year, the stock raises 10 and I now have a stock thats worth 110. I cant do anything with the 10 correct? If I dont touch my account for the next 10 years, Ill only be earning interest on the initial 100 I invested. Theres no compounding interest there  <response>: Year 1 : 10010 110 10Year 2 : 11010 121 11Year 3 : 12110 133 12Etc...The same gain does not equal the same cash gain. So over time, you earn exponantially more money.
