Difference between a trade and an investment ... my definition of a trade is an attempt at increasing present income. An investment is a long term strategy, not necessarily focused on the present.
A trade - can press BUY or SELL button first. Then press the other button later. - a trade can last for few seconds to few years - can earn tons of money from it An investment - can only press BUY button first. Then SELL button later. - an investment can last for few weeks to few years - can earn tons of money from it
