Compare and contrast the different types of investments

II. Lesson Overview

An investment is an asset or item acquired with the goal of generating income
or appreciation. Appreciation refers to an increase in the value of an asset over
time. When an individual purchases a good as an investment, the intent is not
to consume the good but rather to use it in the future to create wealth. An
investment always concerns the outlay of some asset today—time, money, or
effort—in hopes of a greater payoff in the future than what was originally put in.

For example, an investor may purchase a monetary asset now with the idea that
the asset will provide income in the future or will later be sold at a higher price
for a profit.
