What investment vehicle takes advantage of compounded interest?

March 8th, 2010
Ava asked:


Am I correct that you do not really compound your money when you buy stocks since your money doesn’t get re-invested yearly? My 10,000 will only increase in value in 10 years if the price of the stock goes up and not because my 10,000 gets compounded annually (unless the company offers dividends which I could re-invest yearly).

If not stocks, then what other investment vehicles takes advantage of compounded interest? Money market and bonds?
