Investment: When you buy something like stocks, bonds, or property with the goal of making more money in the future. Sometimes companies invest in other companies to have a say in how they do things. There are different types of investments, like when you just want to make some money back or when you want to have a big say in how a company is run.
An investment is when someone buys a financial product or an asset with the goal of making money or growing their business. It can also mean when a company invests in another company to influence their decisions.
For example, if a company invests in stocks or bonds, they hope to earn money through interest or dividends. If a company invests in another company with significant influence, they hope to influence that company's decisions to benefit their own business. If a company invests in another company for control, they hope to have complete control over that company's decisions.
