Trading and investments are different ways to earn profit from financial markets with different approach and methodology 
but the same goal.

An investor invests money in securities for a long period of time while a trader invests in stock markets for a short duration.

The principle of ‘buy right and sit tight’ applies to investors while traders keep a close eye on
 market charts.

Traders focus on market volatility to earn profit while investors depend on gradual appreciation
 of stock prices.

Investment involves wealth generation as it rides out the short-term falls while trading allows profiting from market fall through ‘short selling’. 

Trading is usually carried out by brokers and professionals via technical research while investors carry out fundamental research.

Notwithstanding these differences, trading and investments are different ways to earn profit through participation in financial markets.
