“INVESTING” is suited for long-term objectives like retirement,or growing wealth over time,and involves buying or holding assets,concentrating on fundamentals,and reaping the benefits of compounded growth with less stress.
“TRADING” is for the hopeful,short-term gainers by buy frequently and sell often;it takes time to analyze the market and requires a higher tolerance for risk.
“INVESTING” may be for you if you want slow growth with less involvement; “TRADING” may be for you if you enjoy analyzing the market,have time to put it all together,and can tolerate risk.
A combination of both methods work well,if strategically managing a portion of your overall portfolio for trading allows you to invest for growth over the longer term.
This depends on each individual. If someone has sufficient knowledge or insight into reading market patterns, there's no harm in choosing this method. I'm sure many people give up on this trading method because they experience significant losses. I've tried it myself and eventually switched to safer methods.
I think many investors prefer this type of investment. Although the results may take a long time to achieve, the risks involved are not as great as those associated with futures trading. I think it comes down to your initial investment goals, whether you want to invest in a risky or safe way. The safe method is certainly very simple, buy and hold until you decide when to sell, and it doesn't take long to learn. Compared to futures trading, which can take years to achieve success, it depends on how adept the person is at reading the market.
