Finances and Investment Decisions

Everyone who saves money invests. If you stuff your money in your mattress, or keep it in your bank account, you are investing in cash. While cash isn’t vulnerable to market risk like stocks and other investments, it is subject to inflation risk. When the government prints more money, the dollar loses buying power. Investing in stocks, bonds and other securities can help you avoid losing spending power caused by inflation. Financial decisions in any business can essentially be divided into two categories namely financing decisions and investment decisions. One often wonders whether the financing decisions come first or the investment decision. The difficulty with such a question is that any answer in favor of the one or the other is bound to be wrong. A financing decision involves accepting cash today which inflow from the capital market and repaying the same together with interest or dividend subsequently over a period of time which outflows. On the other hand, an investment decision involves investing the cash today in the product market and receiving a stream of earnings subsequently. The cash invested in the product market is in fact the cash which is raised from the capital market. There are many good reasons to invest your money for the future. The reasons ultimately, however depend on you and what you want from your future.
