In my poiny of view Investment is spending on capital goods by firms and government, which will allow increased productions of consumers goods and services in future.. What do you think about it?

Nobody needs any investment if you know "Tomorrow never comes and you have no next of kin".
Why invest then?
Just go happy, happy goes lucky.
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.
