Isn’t that what I already said? Investing as a hobby? Recreation? Like investing in Pokemon cards?

Investing involves spending money with the intent to make financial returns on your investment.

Buying assets "as a hobby" that depreciate or generate no income, is just that, buying for a hobby, not investing.

People invest in all sorts of things they don’t seriously expect a financial return from. Like sports teams.

Yeah but that's just spending money, not investing.

Well so what? I said people did it as a hobby. They see it as 'investing' like Fantasy Football people are 'playing football'. It's not some mystery!

You clearly have a very deep understanding of finance.

Not sure why you've decided to become personal, snarky, and sarcastic like this?
