Return and Buying Power

Even money has different meanings 🤔

Below the graph, you’ll see 2 cards: Today’s return and Total Return 🏦

💡Return = potential profit!

Return only becomes profit when you sell the stock at a greater price than what you bought it for (so the return needs to be green and positive!) 🟢

Also note that major world events (wars, pandemics, etc) can lead to economic down turn 😥

So, if you’ve been investing on Bloom for less than a couple of years, your return may reflect market trends instead of the true value of your stocks 📝

Stay strong and remember that long term investing happens over years 🚀

As you invest for your future, here’s how to see day to day and total current progress ➡️

Today’s return is your potential profit in one day 🧠

This combines the returns of your current stock’s daily return 🕰️

When the market is closed, today’s return will show the previous trading day's growth 🫙

Total return is all time potential profits and or losses 🤑

Just like Today’s return, Total return combines all time return of all stocks you own 🥳

Below the return section, you can find “Buying Power” 💪

💡Buying Power = money in cash available to buy stocks

When you sell a stock to collect profit or losses on it, the funds go into your buying power 🥳

And, when your quarterly dividend payments land, they show up your buying power! 🏦

Stock profits take 2-5 business days to become withdrawable though! ⌚

Now you know what return is, where your profits go and where spending money is stored 🤑
