5 questions to ask yourself before investing?

Invest:

Def 1

expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit or material result by putting it into financial schemes, shares, or property, or by using it to develop a commercial venture.

Def 2

devote (one's time, effort, thoughts, energy, or anything other resource) to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result.

1. What is the minimum desirable objective? What are you solving for?
2. What sum of resources can I anticipate expending?
3. What is a reasonable expected result?
4. What alternatives exist? Is there a different way to accomplish my objective?
5. How does this help me accomplish my ultimate goal?
