KENTUCKY’S BLUE CHIP 25
Look at your name tag – you are a stock! Which companies do you know? Which stocks would you like to hold?
MUTUAL FUND ACTIVITY
Note the color on your name tag “Fund Manager” controls the yarn in their
color “Stocks” of that color form a circle around
their manager Pass the yarn back and forth between Stock, Manager, Stock, Manager, etc. until you form a web
Stop and Hold!!!
MUTUAL FUNDS A Mutual Fund is - a pool of $$$$$
- invested by a manager
- the goal is to increase the value of
each share of the fund for its investors
Why more American invest through mutual funds than
directly in the stock, bond or money markets? Professional management Diversification “mix and match” Liquidity Investment objective

RULE OF 72
Use the Rule of 72 to calculate how long it will take your money to double at a given interest rate if you reinvest the earnings
72 Percentage rate of return = Number of years needed to double your money
Examples: At 8% interest, it would take 9 years for the
money to double (72 8 = 9) At 10% interest, it would take 7.2 years for the
money to double (72 10 = 7.2)
PRACTICE THE RULE OF 72
How long would it take the following investments to double?
Investment Rate of Return Years to Double
CD 3%
Common Stock 10%
Money Market 1.7%
U.S. Treasury Note 2.66%
