The Correct Definition (and Use) of the Word “Investment”

I Bought & Hacked Another Phone
I stopped by and picked up another Motorola C139 phone at my local Walgreens for $20. It’s funny but the girl behind the counter asked me if I was actually going to use the phone or resell it. She said people were going in and buying up large amounts of phones and reselling [...]
