WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADING AND INVESTING?

Very little actually but the general conception is that trading involves ‘turning over’ (buying and then selling) an asset in a short time period (typically one year or less) compared to investing which commonly implies holding on to an asset for a much longer period. By trading, you’re still investing but likely in a shorter time frame.
