What is the difference between Investments and trading?

[shivkant]

investments are meant for long term benefits while trading is for short term benefits where returns are influenced by current pricing

[sriram]

Investment in stock market means holding a company share for long duration (say Years) with a motive

to earn dividend and appreciation of share prices.

while trading is of short duration (Say days/ Month) with a motive to make money from the difference

of the traded prices.

<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: sourcesanspro, sans-serif;”>Investing is generally the pursuit of a longer term increase in the value of a security such as a stock or bond. Trading is really not concerned about the long-term prospects of a security–rather a trader seeks to profit simply from the pricing movement of a security.</span>
