Except the phrase was not "investing", it was "investing money and earning a return on it." Maybe you should reread the thread.

In the context of a government or any other large institution this is most certainly understood to mean the financial markets. That is not "opinion" but rather common understanding in English language business parlance.

You have resorted to cherry picking words and trying to play semantic games. You have added exactly nothing to the conversation. In fact it's worse as resorting to "that's just your opinion" type remarks just degrades the level discourse. It's just slightly above name calling.
