Investing is the act of allocating resources, typically money, with the expectation of generating an income or profit. It involves purchasing assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or other financial instruments with the belief that their value will appreciate over time or that they will yield returns, such as dividends or interest. The primary goal of investing is to grow wealth and achieve financial objectives, which can include retirement savings, funding education, or building a financial safety net. Investing carries risks, including the potential for loss of principal, and requires careful analysis and consideration of market conditions, asset performance, and individual financial goals. Investors may adopt various strategies, ranging from conservative approaches focused on preserving capital to more aggressive tactics aimed at maximizing returns.
