Definitions and quotes

Investment
In general, to invest is to allocate money (or sometimes another resource, such as time) in the expectation of some benefit in the future – for example, investment in durable goods, in real estate by the service industry, in factories for manufacturing, in product development, and in research and development. However, this article focuses specifically on investment in financial assets.
Investment
Mutual funds are an overrated investment heavily promoted by Wall Street.
Peter Schiff (2006) Crash Proof.
Investment
The investment banks should either choose to be regulated as banks or should arrange to conduct their affairs to not require the stop-gap support of the Federal Reserve.
Kenneth Griffin (2008) "A Wishlist for Fixing Wall Street," New York Times (May 13, 2008).
Investment
The principles of investment are involved in activities that do not pass through the marketplace, and are not normally thought of as economic. Putting things away after you use them is an investment of time in the present to reduce the time required to find them in the future. Explaining yourself to others can be a time-consuming, and even unpleasant, activity but it is engaged in as an investment to prevent greater unhappiness in the future from misunderstandings.
Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics, 4th ed. (2010), Ch. 12. Investment and Speculation
