The philosophical underpinnings of your links are wrong, narrow, brutish and downright capitalist oriented

What does capitalism have to do with it? A definition is a definition lol. Cars are assets, not investments. Investments are assets but not all assets are investments lol.

A definition assumes the character of the conceptualisation... Now your major undoing is viewing investments from a purely profiteering angle without any thoughts for the qualitative benefits... Anyway I'd leave you to think hard and long about it. Cheers

I'm sorry I'm right... Again. Oh, and since we are calling out credentials, EXECUTIVE MBA TOP OF CLASS 2013, WINNER OF CAPSTONE PROJECT! ROFL.

Your definition of investment is narrowed down to profiteering.
you're very wrong again, even non-profit investments is an asset to it's owner

Correct again. All it has to do is be able to be turned into cash.

Why did you use the word investment in nonprofit investment. Why nonprofit asset....

You all need to get to the philosophical underpinnings of these concepts. Which people in finance rarely do.

Profits profits and profits..... Is where both of you are stuck. Without any thoughts for the usefulness of the item in question.... According to the Oyibo dictionary an investment is also characterised by it's usefulness not only profits.... I know times maybe hard but then an investment is what it is ...not only profit dependent but also have other utilitarian values not related to profiteering but better captured by the concept "BENEFITS"

You do realize your own picture just supported our argument. An investment has to be expected to be MORE valuable in the future which is exactly what your definition says.. notice also it lists asset as a synonym for investment but not vice-versa grin

You're killing us making our argument for us!

No it doesn't. Take a British educational lense and read through the highlighted portion.

I'll put it to you in simpler terms. A square investment is a rectangle asset but a rectangle asset is not necessarily a square investment.

Let me put it simply here:
We agree on asset but not on the concept of investment.

Nothing to disagree on. It's a clearly defined term. You can't have an opinion on it. Just like like you can't have an opinion on the term cold, square, happy or debt.

Cold is debatable... You don't claim cold in Jos when an Eskimo comes visiting... cheesy... No definition is sacrosanct ... This is what you learn at the level of PhD. Not MBA.
You only need to re-examine the assumptions behind the so-called definitions.


And I am absolutely correct.
Re: Your Car Is 'Not An Investment!' by radautoworks: 10:32pm On Aug 11, 2018
Cold is scientifically defined at certain temperatures. It is not a philosophical debate though that was one of my minors. Not I'm sure you're just trolling for arguments sake and not actually ignorant. I've lost interest now lol

I do want to send your resume to Trump though. These your alternative facts wink

Cold has no absolute universal temperature level it is relative... Well if you can submit my resume to Trump I'd be joyful for the recruitment.
