Sonic Money you invest in a future return is money not available to you any more. Essentially, you have spent it on a speculation for a return.

Rik Wittkopp so the sign indicates whether you have spent the money or not?

Yes. Not all investments return the capital. In such cases, the money invested is a loss.
