CHAPTER 1
The Basic of Investment
I-1.1 DEFINITIONS
By definition, "philosophy" refers to "the general principles or laws of a field of knowledge" whereas "methodology" refers to "a set or system of methods consisting of practices, procedures, and rules used in a science or subject." In this work, we focus on philosophy of investment rather than its methodology because our main interest is primarily on empowering the investor by increasing his knowledge base of the solid investment principles and laws.
By definition, to invest means to lay out or put something (e.g., time, money, energy, etc.) into an activity (such as education, business, sports, farming, trading, etc.) with the expectation of producing a later benefit or profit.
This definition of investing greatly generalizes the very limited concept of investment that most people use, which is a financial one and implies "putting money into a business enterprise for the purpose of obtaining an income or profit."
Therefore, in simple terms and generalizing the usual and limited concept of investment, we can now define it to mean, "putting a quantity of our time, energy, money, or other resources into a positive activity." Examples would include spending time to get knowledge through education, establishing a business enterprise, acquiring an asset class with a positive potential growth, creating a service company which helps others, etc. These are all done with the expectation of producing a later benefit or profit, whether tangible or intangible.
Therefore, using this wider definition of investment we can see that any and all things that we engage in on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis is a form of investment in some arena, where the return from that investment activity is completely dependent upon the viewpoint of the investor. For example we go to work, we are investing our time for a paycheck; we exercise by investing time and energy with the idea of having...
