How Long Does it Take to Double Your Money?
How long does it take to double your money? The traditional advice says to use the rule of 72—take 72 and divide it by your expected annual return to calculate the numbers of years to double your money. So, if you expect your wealth to grow by 4% a year, then dividing 72 by 4 gives you 18 years before your money will double. If you expect your wealth to grow by 12% a year, then it would take 6 years (72/12 = 6) to double. And so forth.

The report observed the mis-match in past months between investor optimism that the global inflation shock may be subsiding and the heightened vigilance of monetary officials.
