The definition of “investment” is, “the outlay of money usually for income or profit.” (Source: Merriam-Webster.)
According to Benjamin Graham, who was Warren Buffet’s (Forbes’ richest man
on the planet as of May, 2008) mentor, an “investor’s primary interest lies
in acquiring and holding suitable securities at suitable prices”, and a
“speculator’s primary interest lies in anticipating and profiting from
market fluctuations.”
Also according to Graham, the market movements are important because they alternately create lower prices when an investor can buy suitable properties at suitable prices, and high prices for the investor to sell and lock-in his gains.
Most stocks in today’s capital markets do not provide significant dividends so the only profit people can expect are stock price appreciations. However, the S&P 500 Index went down 31% from the first quarter of 1998 to the fourth quarter of 2008. Thus wiping out 31% from an average portfolio, in the past 10 years.
The dismal performance of capital markets in the past 10 years, the bleak future of the same in the next 15 years, the state of technology, and IRS’ little-known regulations provide an unprecedented opportunity to investors and entrepreneurs alike to eliminate capital markets and banks from their lives.
