There’s no clear line between what counts as trading and what counts as investing, but the two are nonetheless very different practices, and most investors are best served avoiding the former. Why? We answer that question in today’s video.

A coworker who likes to "play" the stock market walks in to see my with my portfolio open, a speadsheet, and reading a document. What are you doing? Reading the quarterly report from diamondback energy. … Why? …
Investing is about owning a piece of a company that you want to be part of. They buy Dogecoin and argue when to sell. They get excited about the few thousand they made. I smile and look at my dividends for the year
Thank you! Well explained!
Great he sir
I often confusd ThePlainBagel with the dude from InTheMoney…

A lot of investors used to be traders until they grew the fuck up lol
Bit coin tgey say we dont need lot of money but can ask them to stop when we reach zero.?
They call us gamblers,
They say say we’re depend on luck
They claim that no one can beat the market and we’re wasting our time. This is not a real job. We should give up our hobby they say but IF they only knew…that we’re the masters of risk, the essence of entrepreneurial spirit, the liquidity of the economy, We live by our wits eating what we hunt, adapting to the ever-changing jungle landscape that’s the market! And I’M TRADER
I think traders do stocks as a source of living but investors usually have day jobs .
Being a traitor will put you in a difficult situation. So be an investor instead.
trading=stress .
He sound mad
I think everyone should go through their "trader" phase. It’s a humbling & good learning experience and it will really show you that all the stress is just not worth it, especially if you’re spending so much time doing it and not benefitting from it. I went through it with options, started off making a lot but then losing most of my profit. Sticking to long term investing in growth companies now
You are the first person to explain the difference well, most of my friends think they are investing whereas they are trading. That’s why they make money and loose immediately.
There is no difference between a person who buys a house fix it and sell it for higher or someone who buys a cloth for 4 dollars and sells it’s for 5 dollars they are all traders, and trading is centuries old, camels carried exotic wares through the desert.
Investing however is sending money on an assignment for more money.
That’s why when u see them 10 years later, most are not rich, they like someone pushing a wheelbarrow in a circle.
They also love the drama that comes with trading, or most have this Hollywood version of investing in their heads.
Investing is a boring process of going from financial point A to point B safely
For the first time I understand the difference between investing and trading. I watched so many videos on YouTube but this one make more sense. You’re awesome 👏🏼
Investing is like milking a cow.
Trading is like milking a bull
I prefer investing.
Day traders have no more risk involved than anyone else who starts a business; No guarantees of any nature for either. Educating yourself is key, as every millionaire+ will tell you.
Thx for giving us knowledge
Traders look for the price action, no fundamentals, no news, just technical analysis. Investors look for fundamentals of the project.
I’m somewhere between a trader and an investor.
this guy talks way too much b4 getting to the pt
I think the pandemic has taught people a big lesson, having one stream of income is not really a good idea cause your job doesn’t secure your financial needs. The pandemic has really set out business minded people from the rest that is why I’m so lucky to be amongest the investors trading with harry_fxvalue on insta as his student it’s been success and happiness since the beginning of my trades!!!

I love this guy! Thanks mate!
Thank you
Why not do both?
As a trader i have only thing to tell you by trading you can’t earn as much as you can earn by investing and waiting for years🙏
daytrader on monday to investor on friday
In my very limited experience (a few months) I’ve found that I make the most doing both. I just look for opportunities on both sides.
Okey that is the truth behind trading. This video is underrated. It should have at least 20 million views…
Trading is best plz make video on it
Pakistan is Best and Safe Country for Investment 🇵🇰
When you stop learning , you get left behind . Never stop educating yourself
Simple : Trading is way better
I would say it’s quite easier to evaluate a short term trend while day trading compared to waiting for profit in the long run for a stock you invested in. Day trading will bring in more profit the more money you trade with. That way you wouldn’t have to stack trades. You could do 1 or 2 and sustain your daily income.
Most day traders lose money.
I used to be trader in Hypixel Skyblock bazaar

I dont agree with u, when you are trading stocks, crypto or wathever you are indeed investing your money in that bussines (trading bussines), investor is any person that puts money on something expecting a profit, trader is just who is actually trading whatever they wanna trade, but traders that plays with their own money are investors, traders that plays with someone else money are just traders and the owner of that money is an investor, even if u are trading in long term u are indeed a trader and if you are trading with your own money you are an investor and a trader, i hope i was clear, english is my second language so im sorry for any misspelling, and im not a trader or an investor but this is how i think it is
This two terms (trader and investor) are currently almost the same and nowadays make no difference. Because trader can buy equity with a goal to sell it in a short term, but his bought equity can go lower and trader would have no choice but to to hold this equity in order to get profits later. Sometimes his holding period can be more than a few month and he becomes an investor. Conversely if an investor buys an equity with intent to sell it in a few years can sell his equity immediately when it reaches its fundamental target price. I have seen a lot of cases when investors were buying equities with 20-30% growth potential but those equities were rising quickly on positive fundamental data and investors were selling those equities in few weeks. In todays, rapidly changing financial markets, and extremely volatile stock market there is no difference between trader and investor
Heres a question for anyone that has the experience to answer intelligently…If I invest in a few companies that have reasonable dividends,,{ 4 to 6 percent} yearly,,and their stock prices hit lots of lows , does it affect the dividend?
My Advice: Read Stock Market Tradecraft (google it). There are many differences between traders and investors. An investor should be interested in some fundamentals whereas a trader has little concern in the fundamentals of a company he plans to liquidate in a matter of days or even hours. A trader looks for volatility and an investor looks for stability. In either case the objective is to minimize risk and generate growth. Whether you are a trader or an investor there are inherent risks involved in establishing any position.
So basically investing is long term and safer and trading is short term and risky however the amount of risk with trading varies with experience and knowledge?could you say that day trading when you are inexperienced is close to gambling at this point?
