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).

That was when I told our Portfolio Management clients that I expected a big rise in the stock market in 2017, because it seemed to be repeating a situation I’d seen three times before....

Dear Inner Circle Member,
Many people begin an investing career with a single purchase—one stock, say, or a mutual fund. They may harbor a mistaken or exaggerated idea of the gains this investment will bring. They’ll follow up with more investments, and results will vary widely....
