Perhaps it might seem rather eccentric to respond to this a month after it's posted but I've only just noticed it, and it gives me an opportunity to feel knowledgeable and superior for a few seconds.
I did mean to type that Morgoth invested the city on the landward side (this was from the closing stages of the Silmarillion Survivor, incidentally). Long before it had anything to do with finance, "investment" related to besieging. To invest a city is to blockade it, surround it with siege engines, that sort of thing.
It's no more a typo than Aragorn, Legolas and Eomer in the van, that famous moment in the Two Towers...
