Its not worth to do mining nowadays since the market is on a bloodbath.
better to directly purchase and do trading as for now since it could take your low profit on electric bills.
If you can take some time then trading can be more profitable than mining, only if you find time to understand the flows even fluctuations will be able bring good opportunities when you enter the market with a good timing, but if you can hold and wait and you still have money to finance your electric bills then mining can possibly bring you decent earnings too. Though both have potentials it's just the timing is needed to learn for your benefits.
