Investment is not bad to be sincere so I think that trading give you access to trade whenever you want and make some money but with time investment might be more protected and yield better ROI,trading is good but ensure you have the right skills to do that

I believe trading is also an aspect of investment but it's very risky and a short term investment compare to other types of investment. In trading, you use your money to trade in other gain profit

 

[Abigael]

I think the main difference comes in from what you need to do to earn the profits. In investment, you just put your money in a project and wait for returns. While in trading, you have to get involved in buying and selling to realize profits.

Trading is very good and the risky while investment is also risky but you need to be familiar with your trading skills or the platform you are investing and before investing in it

Personally I think there is only a slight difference that exists between the two but they are word which can be used interchangeably.

Trading had to do with day to day running of business for profit while investing has to do with a fixed deposit on an item in othet to make profit in the future.

The two ways to try to make money on the financial markets are trading and investing. Although both buying and selling investments are involved, investors often seek higher returns over a longer period of time through purchasing and holding, whereas traders take advantage of both rising and falling markets to enter and exit positions over a shorter time frame, taking smaller, more frequent profits.

These are two different things that seems to be the same,investment it's more like trading but they are two different things here and you can earn money with the both of them.

 

[Joy123]

The basic difference between investment and trading is the fact that investors generally seek larger returns over and extended period through buying and holding. Traders by contrast, take advantage of both rising and falling markets to enter and exit positions over a shorter time frame, taking smaller, more frequent profits.

Personally I think, there is only some slight difference that exists between them but most often, people might used it interchangeably.

Investment has to do with a fixed form of business transactions that its benefits is not expected immediately while trading has to do with daily business transactions for the purpose of income generation.

Investing is mostly on a long term basis. While investing you have a set period of time where you would be expecting your returns. In trading, You can easily get your gain back at the end of the day.

There are so many people out there who invest money in businesses. On the other hand, there are so many people who trade in many online markets. So investing and trading are considered two different thing. So what is the main difference between the two?

Investments are a form of business, while trading involves buying and selling even small amounts. I like to invest more because it gives me more profit, and sometimes I trade because it's fun.

 

[Shigobad2020]

Trading in business means buying and sellings of good and services which you must directly monitored yourself but when you invest, your money works for you and all you have to do is to get the profit .

 

[Chibson]

The major difference between the two is the timeframe. When you are investing you're not expecting an immediate profit because you can leave your investment for some years before you'll be able to maximize profit. But as a trader you need an immediate profit within a short period of time.

 

[Syldan]

Well investment and trading are most often words of contradiction. trading has to do with daily exchange of goods and services for profit generation while investment t has to do with fixed deposit asset for future.

 

[hastral45]

Investing is when you commit your funds in a commercial business with the expectations of receiving profits on your capital. In this case, your money is working for you. In trading, you are using your money to speculate the possible outcome of currencies in financial markets.

We all have our own explanation of invest and trade for me it is better to invest and it's involved putting your money in a safe place for it to produce profit In the future while trading is exchange one goods or services to that of another to gain income

 

[Mostee501]

Investing emphasizes long-term wealth creation through a buy-and-hold strategy, while trading focuses on short-term profit-taking through frequent buying and selling based on market dynamics.

 

[Syldan]

Actually I think investment and trading might be used interchangeably to some extent but I also believe that trading has to do with day to day transactions or exchange while investing is not but over a period of time to generate income.

When it comes to investment, you don't really do much but bring your money and put it in a project that you are going to be getting a return on your investment on monthly or on yearly basis.

But when it comes to trading, you are doing it by yourself especially if you are trading on other cryptocurrency or Forex. You are going to analyse and evaluate the market to know whether you are going to be buying or selling whatever commodity you are trading on.
