I'm struggling to get my head around how investment equals savings can anybody help?

Question

Answer 1

i don't know about this

investment usually=gambling

a friend of mine invested $100,000 into a limited partnership.  First time out he go $15,000 profit.  Second time out $20,000 profit, third time out he lost $80,000

that's a net return of -$45,000

not a very good way to save
