In terms of finance, what is "appreciation"?

"Debt free?"

In terms of fiance it the change in value of the product.

Two examples:
If you have a property (a house for instance) and you buy the house at $100K you finance the house and pay it down over 10 years. When you sell property it's worth $120K. It has appreciated, or it's appreciation is $20K (debt free b/c you didn't finance the $20K). While you financed the property it has gained value. If it loses money it has depreciated.

If have a stock that is $5 and pays a dividend or yields $1 over a time period and when you sell the stock it is valued at $7. The earning are the a $1 and the appreciation is the $2. This example uses earning but does not take in to consideration debt (that's margins and another can of worms).

gain in value the opposite of depreciation

Lot of greens to spend.
