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).

A vast number of factors can affect the price of any stock you buy. That’s why investors have a natural impulse to look for some sort of investing shortcut or formula that can cut the effort that goes into investing decisions. (Ideally, we all prefer a formula that fits on a T-shirt.)
