    There's no clear line between what counts as trading and what counts as investing, but the two are nonetheless very different practices, and most investors are best served avoiding the former. Why? We answer that question in today's video.

      Wise investors who have never traded themselves can be so biased against trading just because other wise investors who have never traded have said that trading is gambling and so on. The algos can be defeated or avoided, you just need the right strategy, due dillagance and emotional toughness.

    Having a good plan towards breaking free financially is absolutely a good thing there are quite a good number of plans one can actually take pending on your clearity and how convenient/conversant you are with it. Nevertheless building a better tomorrow demand absolutely concentration, commitment, diligence and experience from either you or someone mentoring you on how to achieve set goals, as a matter of fact many successes still ballsdown to a good mentorship and guide, with awareness like these it shouldn't be any more a problem to compell one but rather encouraged one to make a good plan toward the future.

      Benefits that people derive from investments are obviously very interesting. I have taken a bold step in trade and achieved beyond what I actually expected and that is because I took a bold decision that really matters at that time , taking a new investment in the area I didn't really understand or was familiar with . All these came out very successful because I have an advisor who is well-read and very much firm in his area of profession , within a quarter i was able to make $7852 which came without stress but absolutely fair application of steps i learnt from Jason Herman Pierce .

    • @Erickruiz562

      It comes down to technique; a downtrend gives you room to focus on the market and grow significantly in the short or long term. While it is easier to make money when the market is rising, a downtrend can still yield high returns if you have the necessary knowledge and skills. For this reason, I have been scaling up during this difficult period by working with an investment advisor; this has been the only way I have raised up to $150K in the last six months.

      But also investors are interested in the actual value of a company (fundamentals, revenue growth etc) while traders are interested in the market's valuation of the company.
      for example, if the company's value remains unchanged but it gets false bad coverage which will later be clarified- the market valuation will drop and then recover, and traders will have a field day

    @titaniumsandwedge 3 роки тому +25

    The difference between investing and trading is very simple to understand. Investing is the act of buying stock in a company and typically is long term. As the company operates in its space, it will do good or bad. If good, earnings go up and so does the share price. If bad, earnings languish and share price goes down. The market figures this out in a process called price discovery which happens every day. The price discovery process is the dominion of traders. They care not one whit about the operational performance of the company. Share prices can go up or down as the market seeks the right level for the price. Traders derive profits from this volatility. They have fancy tools called technical analysis which may or may not be accurate. They also tend to use equity options to make their profits. For them its all about the Benjamins. The actions of traders facilitate the price discovery process so their profits cannot be considered a parasitic draw on the system.

    In the end all that matters is that your method makes money over time. This is a function of your win rate, average gain and average loss. Traders are focusing on smaller time frames and smaller gains+losses while investors play the long game.
    I think its more of a spectrum than a black and white differentiation. Personally I'm a swing/position trader and consult both fundamentals and technicals before placing a buy. I want to see excellent earnings, revenue growth, margins and fund ownership. Then I look to buy a company as it is breaking out of a consolidation pattern showing excellent demand and little supply. If a company is so strong funds should be buying it and this will show up in the charts, all you have to do is ride the wave.
    The end goal is the same for all styles, profit from the greatest companies.

    • @TheBanjoShowOfficial
      @TheBanjoShowOfficial 3 роки тому +4

      I entirely agree, thats a pretty good analysis of the methods. And I especially agree with consulting both fundamentals before trading. My theory is, trade stocks that are currently undervalued so that in a freak case of undergoing big losses, I am confident still in the company's long term ability to come back even higher.

    I used to invest in stocks but the problem was that upon analysis & valuation derived from DCF, most of the stocks appear to be overvalued. My new approach has been to add kind of swing trading to my strategy. I buy blue chip stocks with very high volatility, if the price goes down, I don't book losses as I know the company is fundamentally good and the price will go up again. When it goes up, I book my profits at certain level and then restart all over.

    Trading is basically playing Casino. You'll win sometimes, and feel like the smartest guy in the room. As your portfolio value rises, you feel your IQ increasing by the same amount. Sure enough though, when you see it decrease you don't find fault in your analysis and continue with your same short term insight actions. You rationalise that you're smart and that it's just the market not working. Instead of seeing you're playing casino (by using fancy charts, you even create the narrative fallacy of believing you're in control of events).
    Trading makes the broker rich. Investing makes you rich.

      It sounds like someone who just graduated from Finance University. But usually they do not have charts, usually they analyse the possibility to sell high or buy cheap by doing time linear regressions. Basically they use the results offered by sone statistical programs such as Stata, Eviews or SPSS (sometimes, although SPSS is very limited).

    Certainly trading and investing do have a lot of difference. The former can get you quick gains but is highly risky. But the latter requires patience and time and only then you'd earn windfall gains. What do you guys think?

      all ur doing with long term investment is basically giving up spending $1 today so that you can spend $3 in 30 years (assuming 7% return from investment and 2.5% inflation annualy) whether or not that worth it depends on the individual. trading, you are doing what hedgefunds with boat loads of PHDs trying to do. considering that the chances of you succeffully trading it is not that high.

    Here is a question: How do you spot a short squeeze?

  • @649684361

    Trading is a grind! Don't let anybody tell you anything different. You win and lose all the time but what differentiates a profitable trader from one who's not, is how much of their winnings they get to keep. Those gurus you see with the expensive cars didn't make their money from trading. To make that much cash they wouldn't have time to be driving their expensive cars. lol
    But contrary to what Richard is saying, trading profitably is not a very risky task in itself. What you have to worry about is often not what the market throws at you but how you respond to that. If you blow past your stop, holding out due to an emotional bias, a lost of 2x often becomes far more. The risk management comes from knowing and managing yourself first and foremost. It's psychological and the rest is just numbers. But he is correct that it's not for everybody. Especially those who can't control their emotions.

    I'm a trader myself (not professional I only make a couple hundred bucks a day) and I personally never liked comparing trading to gambling. Never been a gambler in my life and honestly once you learn the true ins and outs of the market which there's limitless resources online to do so, you can see how to stack the odds in your favor and make sure you win more than you lose. And that when you lose you minimize your losses and cut them quick. Unlike with gambling once your money is in, it's in you either win or lose it all. With trading you can cut your losses at any moment so it's not like it's zero or hero. You could lose some money on one trade and then just cut your loss at literally just 1-2% which you'll live with instead of losing your entire position when gambling in a casino. I'm far from a pro, I literally use thinkorswim on my phone while I'm at work just to get some extra income, but for me I can see myself doing it full time at home soon enough. It's not for everyone no doubt, but don't confused real trading with gambling. There's definitely ways to gamble in the stock market, just look at wallstreetbets lmao, but those who make a living off it? You think they gamble every single day? You're just wrong in my opinion. Solid video in terms of the long term investing information though. I have long term positions as a fallback if my trading goes sideways but I don't intend to sell that stuff till retirement. Trading is very much a real thing and not gambling but you gotta know what you're doing

      Dude the way people look down upon us traders smh. I couldn't agree more with what you said. A person is able to make money if they treat as a probability thing. Risking less so that losses are fewer than wins. It's a matter of risk management and execution of your trading edge. It's sustainable over time. Problem is too many people lose money cause they wanna win big.

Sometimes you see those crazy swings that are 100%+ profit and it gives you a rush no lie but it's not nearly as sustainable as trading for 5-10% per trade and increase your portfolio by 1-5% a day (depending on your account size of course this could vary hugely)
