What I don't understand is how you make money.

Let's say all the stock you pick are good stocks, and you invest 1000. 50 years later, that becomes this ENORMOUS amount. How?

If I buy 100 shares of something that's $10, isn't my investment forever based upon the value of the stock?

In order for me to make $1,000,000, the value of the stock would have to be $10,000, right? Not exactly.. and that's what I don't get.

Where does the exponential growth come into play?
