investment
An investment is an asset or property acquired to generate income or gain appreciation. Appreciation is the increase in the value of an asset over time. It requires the outlay of a resource today, like time, effort, and money, for a greater payoff in the future or for generating a profit.
An investment involves using capital in the present to increase an asset’s value over time.
Investments may include bonds, stocks, real estate, or alternative investments.
Investments can be diversified to reduce risk, though this may reduce the amount of earning potential.
In business contexts, investments are financial; however, consider how some people spend time to make higher incomes in the future (i.e. invest in a college education).

Dear Inner Circle Member,
Some of my most productive investment thinking occurs when I answer a question and it leads me to think about an old concept in a new or different way.
Recently, for example, an Inner Circle member asked about the term “blue chip.” My first reaction is that it’s an old-fashioned investment cliché, and that it implies high investment quality coupled with low risk....
