To invest is basically to put money into the expectation of a return in future. That means, to invest implies having an asset or piece of property with the intention of making a profit from the investment through the increase in the market value of that asset or price over a definite period of time.

Timing and position sizing is key along with risk management, should the seasonal occurrence not materialize.
