Investments As a discipline, the study of financial securities, such as stocks and bonds, from the investor's viewpoint. Investments Assets or securities one purchases with the intent of making a profit. An investment may involve the extension of a loan or line of credit, which entitles one to repayment with interest, or it may involve buying an ownership stake in a business, with the hope that the business will become profitable. An investment may also involve buying a particular asset with the intent to resell it later for a higher price. Many types of investments exist, each subject to greater or lesser regulation in the jurisdiction in which they takes place. An investment's existence assumes the legal protection of individual property rights. Investing wisely requires a combination of astuteness, knowledge of the market, and timing. See also: Investing.
