I don't really agree that saving is investing. You can say theoritically but doesn't make practical sense. Saving is basically about trying to keep your money safe or preserve your capital with added advantage of interest to beat inflation if possible. THere is no risk involved in it. Your money going to safe and you won't lose it. But investing is totally risky business. You money has many chances of losing its value when the underlying equity loses its value. So I really don't agree saving has form of investment.
