When the first hominid set aside some food for the
next day instead of eating everything in that one meal, so that it could be
traded for favours in scarcity, that was investing. Investing is putting aside assets for later
use, or greater potential future gain .
Anyone who saves money is practising a crude form of
investing. Anyone who collects things,
and assigns a value to them, is investing. As financial systems got more sophisticated,
and an entire class of financial advisors and experts arose, people got
intimidated by degrees of complexity, when at heart, it is a simple matter of
anticipating scarcity so that certain assets can be parlayed into profit.
