investment terminology and types

[Jon Lapham]

This is the intro to investments I've been working on:

http://www.jandr.org/temp/gnucashdocs/invest_concepts1.html

In section "7.1.1 Terminology", can someone proof the definitions of 
terminologies... and/or suggest additional.

In section "7.1.2 Types of Investments", I want to make a list of the 
general kinds of investments.  I have 3:

1) "Interest-bearing ACCOUNT" (account is all caps b/c I don't like that 
word... a CD is not an account)

2) "Publically traded company common stock": is there another name for 
this which would include mutual funds?

3) "Assets that increase in value" ugh, terrible title.  I mean stuff 
like houses.  Is there a better title for this?

are there any others?  The idea of these groups of investment types is 
to try to organize the investments in terms of how GnuCash deals with them.
