I always go for investing. Trading is a good way to make money but for that you have to some good knowledge about trading which I don't have. That's why I like to go for investing. It's easy and also I don't have to put much time on it. If you are new I would suggest you to stay away from trading first know about it and learn very carefully and then go for trade. Otherwise you can go for long and mid term investment but still it's also need some knowledge first gain it.
