Investing can also be trading, depends on the timeline we’re talking about.
What you should be more focus to is to increase your knowledge about the market, and know if you can do trading or you prefer more to become a passive investors. I prefer more long term investing, but I can do trade as well though recently the market seems not in favor to my decisions and that’s why I stop trading for now.
There’s always an advantage if you are both knowledgeable and skillful in both aspects. When the market seems unstable, at least you can just focus on long term investing, and when the market is profitable again, you may start trading again for quick profits. However, since the market condition still not favor my trading activity, for now I’m more on long term investing.
