No, dude! Trading is the same as investing unless you meant day trading. Day trading is just a form of investing. It should not be day trading either as that is more specific than investing. Investing may have a connotation of long term trading but it is not the actual definition. I did not presume that everyone here day trades. Some people here may invest long term and that's why I used invest. Instead of debating semantics with me, just post what you "trade" and start a thread about the difference somewhere else.
