Trading and investing both involve allocating capital to financial assets, but their objectives and time horizons can differ substantially. Trading generally focuses on exploiting price movements over a defined, often shorter horizon, while investing usually emphasizes longer-term ownership and value creation. Neither approach is automatically superior. We need to understand the distinction because time horizon influences strategy, risk management, costs, analysis, and decision-making.
