If trading is already working smoothly for you, why divide your attention to investing in stocks? I know it's necessary to invest in something that's big enough to make one smile other than depending on just a project that's yet to signify our standings in the system.
That is what I cannot understand with these people. They claim that they're profitable and working with the trade they have. They don't want to focus on one thing when it seems profitable. I wouldn't just go with the other one if it's still profitable for me, that doesn't make sense at all.
But we have to admit that making profits from long-term investments is easy and suitable for the majority, while making profits from trading is much more difficult and not many people can do it. We hear a lot of stories about investors/traders getting rich and among them, long term holders are in the majority compared to traders.
Generating profits in trading is hard and that's the reason why those traders that have earned on it little have turned into investors. There is no need for them to be so updated to the market with all of these things because they can be at their best position by just being a lurker and an investor.
