Invest in the stock market or or to trade.

[|MINER|]

“INVESTING” is suited for long-term objectives like retirement,or growing wealth over time,and involves buying or holding assets,concentrating on fundamentals,and reaping the benefits of compounded growth with less stress.
“TRADING” is for the hopeful,short-term gainers by buy frequently and sell often;it takes time to analyze the market and requires a higher tolerance for risk.
“INVESTING” may be for you if you want slow growth with less involvement; “TRADING” may be for you if you enjoy analyzing the market,have time to put it all together,and can tolerate risk.
A combination of both methods work well,if strategically managing a portion of your overall portfolio for trading allows you to invest for growth over the longer term.

I always suggest this topic first by asking what condition the person is in. If he understands technical analysis, fundamental analysis and market psychology, then he can do short-term trading if he wants. In that case, maybe he can earn passive income by short-trading.
However, we have to remember that if the person's trading skills, including technical analysis and fundamental analysis, are lacking, then short-term trading is nothing but a danger zone for them.
In that case, I would say they divide their funds into small portions and adopt a long-term strategy and make regular investments. For example, following the DCA scheme for Bitcoin for a long time is definitely the best and will provide the best risk management support.

Are you talking about investing in the stock market or investing in bitcoin, because they are both different. That said, i invest in bitcoin and i don't trade, trading is far more risky and requires certain skills to at least get some kind of success in. I am a long term bitcoin investor who does not mind hodling my coins for as long as possible, and if you hodl bitcoin for the long term, you are almost certain of ROI. If you want to trade, you must ensure that you know what you are doing and be ready to experience losses.

And either stocks or trading, they are different because stocks are more of a holding for a long time, and trading is usually a long-term business, and if it were holding of maybe bitcoin, I would have agreed that they are similar, that is because it is a long-term investment and stock and holding bitcoin is less risky and trading is risky and have tested the two but stocks and bitcoin trading and also holding and if you looking for a safe investment then stocks is the way and the same goes to holding bitcoin.

Because it takes a longer period for it to appreciate, especially stocks, they all have their risk, but still better than trading, and if you look at the whole industry doing all is not a bad idea because there is no were it has been written that it's a crime to do everything because people don't want to lose money that is why they are always scared and stock is like one of the most matured investment we can ever know because people that invest are billionaires and more.

Obviously, it is the dream of every trader to earn enough capital to invest in the stock market and thus receive a passive income of 6-8% per annum. But in order for this 6-8% to be enough for life, it is necessary that the amount of investment is sufficient for this, for example, 1 million dollars.

[Botnake]

Everyone can actually invest and wait for it to profit, however not everyone has the capability to trade and make their trades successful. Maybe some are just eager to start their trade because of their anticipated profits, but when they are in the verge of losing, that serves a big challenge for them whether to continue trading or just call it a day, or just focus on their investment alone.

It’s very easy to say to combine both investing and trading, but in reality, the risks and challenges are too hard to overcome especially if you are still in the learning process.

Stocks could be very quick too if you buy the right stock at the right time. I never did, so I do not know how some people do it, but everyone thinks of blue chip stocks when they think of stocks. In reality, there are companies with like 20-50 million value, that finds some new product, could be drugs, could be finance, could be some product company, could be anything, and suddenly they grow to an insane size, which means the stock also goes up with it.

I have seen companies that did 1000%+ in a single year, because of a new thing they sell. It is not uncommon neither, in many healthy stock market years, there are few companies that grow like that, they are "altcoins" of the stock market and could be possible to get, no idea how people found those, I never can, but some people do.

To be honest, if you rely solely from trading, it could be hard for regular traders to come up with extra profits to sustain a new investment. Except if you have been raised from a wealthy family, or having an executive job aside from trading that regularly receive high compensation. But if you are just a greedy and ambitious trader, most possibly it could take a lot of years before that dream turns into reality.

Both investment and trading in the stock market are very risky. One investment is on a company or product and the other is through buying and selling digital points. So you will not get profit guarantee anywhere. But it is possible to make a lot of profit from here. Investment has to be done with risk in both cases. However, if you compare stock investment and trading, the risk in trading is much higher than investment in the stock market.

However, if someone thinks that these investments will give him huge profits very quickly, then he will not get the results he expects from them. And in both cases, a lot of analysis is required to find a good coin or company share.

Both are good but it just depends on what you want and how fast you want it or even how you want to grow through this two process. Trading is very risky and for your emotional well being, you should not venture into it because without a prepared mindset, the repercussions are not mostly been tolerable by the trader.

While investing is not as risky as trading, it also requires you to be patient and also have some level of understanding of the market because it will also affect your emotional state and balance that if care is not taken on what you’re investing into, you’ll lose your capital and never recover again from your loss.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages but it just depends on how you can weigh them and make the best out of them to your own benefit in the long run.

[Obari]

There’s no crime in investing in both and the truth be told that, if one is good at trading and channel some ration of his profits into investing for the future, then such a person is already on the right track but trust me, trading is no child’s play that’s why we don’t get a lot of people sticking to it even after jumping into it.

However, if someone thinks that these investments will give him huge profits very quickly, then he will not get the results he expects from them. And in both cases, a lot of analysis is required to find a good coin or company share.

I agree with you that regardless of wether we choose to trade or invest, there is always risk and it also requires good analysis to choose the right investment option and anyone choosing a path in investment and expecting an almost immediate return isn’t on the right track as investments are expected to bring good returns over a longer period of time.

The important thing is we know how to handle the risk so we don't worry.  Risk will always be there but we can prevent the risk become big with our knowledge. So whatever you choose investment or trading, you can adapt yourself because you can learn more for both and use that to make money. When we choose investment, we can not expect to make a profit in short time although that can be done if the market jump to the high price. But we can not see that is happen too often so we need to be patient and continue what we have done before. If you want to trade, you know that you need to have skill to analyze before trade. So you will learn more about trading because that is the thing that help you to get the time to trade.

Investment is essentially long term trading. You are only trading on the publicly available shares, much higher percentage of ownership is with the rest of the shares. So if you were owning some part of that then it would be a real investment, which is usually not the case with most of the common plebs here.

Risk is there in either of them. Even the owners go bankrupt and continue to new ventures, the entrepreneur life is like that only, high stakes and high blood pressure situation. Not something I like and thus I keep myself limited to long term trading only.

Investing and trading are quite profitable but involves a high level of risks and at such it needs to be understood before venturing into it, while investment may be held for long term growth trading seems like the opposite and for the records you tend to lose more in trading if you don't understand how the market flows but for investment it's quite different. What binds them together is the fact that they involve higher risks factors, nevertheless they play different roles.

Obviously, it is the dream of every trader to earn enough capital to invest in the stock market...

Well, I for one don't like the idea of stocks. I will rather put my money into crypto investment than do it in stocks. I don't know if it's because of the hanky panky way I perceive stocks are handled in my country that has made lose faith in that sector or it's just my thinking that crypto investments give better ROI than stocks. Any day, any time, I'm more settled in cryptos than stocks for now.

Now the question is where do you fit in? Where is your interest? Everyone has different perspectives, abilities and financial levels. If you want short term profits then stick to trading if you want a slow way invest your money in proven assets like BTC. If you want to do it all, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that you know the risks and have everything you need. Personally, my income is not too big so what I do is focus on long term investment even though I can trade but I am not very active, for me trading is very difficult.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Are you doing both? Trading is so risky compared to investing which is stress free, that's why a lot of focus more on investing because it's less risky and also stress free. It's possible for someone to combine both but if you are a trader, you need time and dedication to always look through the market and make proper analysis but if you are just investing, you just need to project your asset safely which can not the compare the emotional stress of trading and making analysis. If you want to go into trading first, it's possible to start investing with a small amount, so you can be trading with small capital while you still have a huge funds investing to a real asset like Bitcoin or any stock you want.

One thing is both has their risks but the risk varies and one thing i usually tell people if your capital isn’t that much to gamble about and you don’t have any prior knowledge or enough time to seek the knowledge of trading which is very deep compare to that of investing I will say you should stick to only investing and not just in any coin but bitcoin to help reduce the risk of losing money.

Aside the financial capital and risk that can restrain one from being a trader having a lot of time to spend on learning and actually analyzing the market also is a very important factor in trading so for someone who has an extra job which takes his time then he can simply just invest or do swing trading which is a trade that its position can be open for like days, weeks and months

In my opinion, buying shares on the stock market looks more promising than investing in cryptocurrencies, since you are buying a part of a real business in this way, rather than virtual coins, which are also highly volatile. In addition, shareholders are protected by law and receive dividends.So I think it would be right to keep some of assets in securities to diversify your risks.

I also had time to trade and invest simultaneously in the past. Bad financial management only became the investment that I did like financing my trade. I learned from my mistakes, and gradually I did the opposite, some of the profits from trading I finally allocated to my investment wallet.

Now I rarely trade, only once a week, or even up to a month. Developing yourself in trading is not easy. There is a lot to learn and it is indeed stressful. If you really want something more relaxed, then investing is an option. But still, understand the science and enrich your knowledge so you don't make mistakes in managing investments.

The only attractive thing about stocks is that they are less risky than crypto due to the fact that they are not as volatile as cryptocurrency and are regulated. Those who are scared of taking risks will choose stocks without thinking twice. But this can be managed, especially if the investor is going to invest in Bitcoin only. Bitcoin is less volatile compared to altcoins and is suitable for newbie investors as long as they are in it for the long term.

Just like you, I do not find investing in stocks attractive. The whole regulatory stuff and procedures for investing are a big turn-off.

Stocks is not really bad if you know your way around it and I think it is safer than trading. Imagine owning stocks in the big tech companies, that is something you can keep as a legacy for your children unlike trading that you are facing a 50/50 chance of losing your money or making profit. Stock is a profitable investment, but you must be willing to give it time after choosing stocks of companies that are still in high demands and not moribund companies that have been overtaken by time and technology.
