'''Investment''', in a financial sense, is something that one puts money into in hopes of receiving a gain. In an economic sense, an investment is something purchased that is not a consumer [[good]], but is used for production of other goods and [[service]]s. A type of financial investment is the purchase of a security, such as a [[stock]] or bond. Economic investments can be physical, such as [[machine]]ry for a factory, or intangible, such as investing in job training to create [[human capital]].
