The numbers get bigger and converge around 2.718. Hey... wait a minute... that looks like e! Yowza. In geeky math terms, e is defined to be that rate of growth if we continually compound 100% return on smaller and smaller time periods: This limit appears to converge, and there are proofs to that effect. But as you can see, as we take finer time periods the total return stays around 2.718. 7.7 But What Does It All Mean? The number e (2.718...) represents the maximum compound rate of growth from a process that grows at 100% for one time period.
