No worries Smash. I've just claryfied this thread is started by me. Personally, I prefer trading. I spend. In trading I want to view high return and not to drop a lot (I will accept quite a major risk when trading however must cover off) and in investing I do not want to lose (in long-term)Originally Posted by ;
Let me explain why I think investing is important.
That is my trading portfolio in last month:
As you can see volatility of my portfolio is enormous. This means that I can make a lot. But on the flip side, I could lose. But when money transfer from trading to investments it is quite a bit more safe. Return potential is not too high, but I do not need to be millionaire in two decades. I'd love to cover my personal expenses and also be able to spend more. In the event I lose my trading account I will lose my confidence that's a lot worse than losing money (it never happened but I am still very fearful ).
And that I wonder myself regular: Why do you require a lot money on trading account when it could be dropped? Profit is profit only if it is moved to my bank account.
I believe we should exchange more sensibly and move some money to different assets. Not all them, but always keep that money are made by randomness. Most traders believe that they make money because they're good traders, however I am not so much convinced...
I believe we ought to realize that we're able to lose money whenever and so be more grateful when we make it think a lot of if it is just coincidence or we are so great. I am not convinced about my possessions. I can say I am good, if I have constant growth for 20 decades maybe. But until then....
