Investing and trading are two very different methods of attempting to profit in the financial markets. The goal of investing is to gradually build wealth over an extended period of time through the buying and holding of a portfolio of stocks, baskets of stocks, mutual funds, bonds and other investment instruments.
Investing and trading are good if you can do it together, it's one way of diversifying your funds as we don't know our fate in taking this kind of risk.
Both can maximize your income depending on how you manage your money and on how you make a decision.
For now, I am trading for long term and investing as well because I realize it's less stressful if done in long term.
