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,
If you take a university-level psychology or medical course, you run the risk of “medical student’s disease”. This happens when you read about disease symptoms, and get a sudden fear that they describe something you already suffer from.
A good teacher will tell you that many symptoms in your textbook are exaggerations of normal, everyday fluctuations in your health and vitality....
