Investments in the stock market mean physical purchase of shares with the intention of holding them for a period say a couple of years. The risk factor is less here. Trading need not necessarily involve  physical buying or selling of stock. It is done to make profits over  a short time. It is risky if not done with knowledge and discipline.

[KRISHNA KUMAR MS]

Investment is buying stocks and holding the same for a long period of time  (generally more than 1 year); but trading is buying and selling the stock in short time (Intra day or positional)
