Investment–is the term of long term objective over a period of more than a year,,the investor buy the stocks & hold it for more then a year…
Trading–is the term of short term objective for a period even less than a day,,the trader buy & sell the stocks when the stock rate is gone below the previous low price..

*Investment is done with a long term view; Quality of the company, appreciation of share price over the period  & other fundamentals has to be studied before making an investment.

*Trading is in which the price movement is given more weightage than any other. The aim is to make money in a specified time; So buy – hold – dispose within the predetermined  time period either with a profit or at a stop loss.
