Answer / abhishek kr. sinha

Most of the answers above says investment is investing in
equities. Remember this is a trap and a wrong notion. And
the second answer says that investment is a postponement of
consumption. However, Savings is primarily postponement of
consumption. Idle cash is totally risk free and hence
returns are also zero.

Investment is a function of savings. It has the capability
of generating series of future cash-flows and gererating
employment. Buying shares and all is not an investment
activity - It is just an example of re-allocation of money.
Example of investment - investing in real estate which
generates employment and cash flows. Investment is an
extremely important variable as far as G in Keynesian
C+I+G+NX is concerned.It stimulates the multiplier.
