In most circles the definition of investing is the deployment of capital for some expected return on that capital. You can't just take something else that feels like investing and start calling it that.

I agree - what I am trying to say is that there is more to investing than money in, money out, and risk. For example, I would feel a lot better losing money by investing in an innovative product, than losing money because the economy went down. Investing in progress, return or not, is its own reward.
