Turn $5,000 a year into nearly $1 million.

You have to have a small amount of money and invest it regularly for a long time," Baron says."It's all about compounding," the Baron Capital founder says, referring to the power of making regular investments and reinvesting the returns.

It's wrong for people to think that they have to be wealthy to get rich investing in the stock market, famed buy-and-hold investor Ron Baron told CNBC in a Friday interview.

"You have to have a small amount of money and invest it regularly for a long time, and live to get to be old. That's how you get rich," said the billionaire founder of Baron Capital, which has nearly $26 billion in assets under management. He appeared on "Squawk Box" from the sidelines of his annual investor conference in New York City.

"It's all about compounding," he said, referring to the power of making regular investments and reinvesting the returns over decades.

On a shorter time horizon, he said that a decade using that strategy would yield $110,000. "If you do it for 20 years, it's worth $250,000."

Baron bases his belief in the power of long-term investing on the historical correlation between the economy and the stock market.

"The economy grows with the market," he said, though admitting that at any given time one may be ahead of the other or visa versa. "We're thinking the economy growth is going to accelerate, pointing to low interest rates, cheaper oil prices, and disruptive technologies. "That means that the stock market growth should accelerate," he reasoned.

Over the summer, Baron said he could see the Dow Jones industrial averageat 40,000 by the year 2030. On Friday, he told CNBC, "That may be a little low." The Dow closed Thursday at 23,461, less than 1 percent off the recent all-time highs.

To make his case, Baron pointed to a recent prediction from fellow value investor and billionaire Warren Buffett. Last month, Buffett said the Dow should be over 1,000,000 in 100 years. "But that's just compounding 4 or 5 percent a year," Baron said, which is a rate on par with his estimates.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company.

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
