It seems as if with your understanding of the word, nothing is an investment if you can describe it fulfilling some other purpose.
In fact, don't bother. This is such a boring discussion.
I'll just end with saying that you're totally right. None of these things are ever an investment.  |
It's a matter of opinion, doesn't really matter who is right...
you rarely hear anyone say "I invest in options", you would typically hear "I trade options"...
that's because it typically involves trying to profit from short term fluctuations in price...
but hearing "I invest in real estate", "I invest in stocks" or "I invest in fine art"...
all sound natural, because they are all typically long term, and money is being made from appreciation in price and/or dividends/rental income...
