Between investing and gambling you can draw a near fine line especially in stock market. Don't be confused between investing and gambling.
let's talk about stock market.
Stock market isn't suitable for a short term investment whereby you want a quick buck of money. Because the nature of the stock in a short term Is fluctuating.
If you searching for a short profit by trading the stock on short term and hoping by one day you will get 30% return then you are speculating your money, which is gambling and it's no different that going to Casino, put your money on the roulette table and hope you will get return.
Investment need a time and it's not an one day thing. Gambling seeking a quick profit in a short term price movement while investing is about research and knowledge, it seek profit also but it didn't speculate.
Well kind of difficult to explain isn't it. Hope you do see the fine line between it.
If someone say that he has done research and put a time as well as effort and bought a stock today and hoping that he can sell it tomorrow or next week is it investing or gambling?
Honestly I would say it's a gambling. There is no way you can predict the movement of a stock in one day or week except you've got an insider news. You can see a certain stock has a future but not in one day or one week.
Investing is a discipline, it doesn't rush and it is wise. Gambling always ruled by greed and thinking about instant way.
Hope that you won't invest stock in a speculating manner.
Don't be ruled by greed but in a wisely way stick on your principal and discipline.
