Investment
Investment – it is a word which
covers a wide area or has a very deep meaning. It is not only related with
bond or shares or SIP or any things but also related with making some things
new. Shares or bond are only a shift of assets from one person to another.
But this is not a real investment.
Real investment is an investment which is
related with making some things new or increase in our current capital goods
or assets. It totally related with increase in the capital like for example
– making new house or factory or plant etc. New dam or road or
company issue or increase in inventory also include in the investment.

interest rates or demand. When there is a increase in income – there is a
increase in demand then there is a motivated or induced investment.

of ‘B’. We have an extra investment like ‘B – C’.
