Financial investment and real investment were two different things.
Financial investment was the purest form of financial games: stocks, funds, and even contracts involving wagers. In reality, it could be seen as a form of gambling.
I bet that it would rise tomorrow, so I bought that financial product today.
I bet that it would definitely fall tomorrow, so I shorted that financial product.
Pure financial investment actually brought little benefit to the real economy. Instead, because financial investment activities were excessively active, they completely disrupted the order of the market.
Real investment, however, was another matter entirely.
What was real investment?
The simplest example was building a factory. Investment and production or construction activities involving concrete, tangible assets were all forms of real investment.
Building a factory required workers, and once it was built, workers were needed for production as well.
The raw materials needed for production had to be purchased from society, while the products made would also be sold on the market.
Real investment broadened society's living environment in a way financial investment could not.
Financial investment only required a few traders to complete a series of buying and selling activities that might involve hundreds of thousands or even millions.
The flow of funds did not produce any additional valuable benefits for society.
Real investment could stimulate activity throughout the markets both upstream and downstream, provide society with more jobs, and stabilize the overall economy.
