When you invest, you adicate responsibility for your decision.
Also commonly known as "buy and hope"
When you trade, you accept responsibilty for not only your purchase,
but more importantly, you accept responsibility for the management
of your purchase including the timing of it´s liquidation no matter whether
you have held the instrument for hours, days or years.

"A chicken that eats the seed will not be hungry today. A chicken that plants the seed will not be hungry tomorrow. But all things equal, grab what you can when you can"."
