<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 2987611, member: 74863&quot;]I think the terminology you&#039;re using is the reason you fail to understand my point. By using the definition as defined by Merriam-Webster we may agree. </p><p><br /></p><p>Investment: The outlay of money usually for the income or profit: capital outlay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Financial Definition of Investment: An investment is an asset intended to produce income or capital gains.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speculation: Assumption of usual business risk in hopes of obtaining commensurate gain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Financial Definition of Speculation: Speculation is a method of short-term investing whereby traders essentially bet on the direction an asset&#039;s price will move.</p><p><br /></p><p>Insurance: A means of guaranteeing protection or safety.</p><p><br /></p><p>Synonym: One of two or more words or expressions of the same language that have the same or nearly the same meaning in some or all senses.</p><p><br /></p><p>All definitions are from Merriam-Webster and by applying them to your response you have no insurance of anything and by speculating you&#039;re talking a huge risk. </p><p><br /></p><p>According to the definitions Investment and Speculation are synonyms, meaning they mean the same or almost the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, applying my post and your response, we agree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
