Investments are what are going to benefit you in the long run. You aren't always going to be losing or gaining money, but keeping the money that you have put into it because you can earn it back. They are going to last you long term and you have to research if they are stable and if they have a good history. If your investment usually drop and then go back up it could be okay to buy the stock when they are low because they could hit a high like the have done in the past. The investment could also help you and to keep your money. You are putting money into something that you think will help you.
Trade is a short term. You have to research and decide when a good time to buy a stock is. You could buy Walmart during the pre-school season, for that stock would go up because of everyone going there and buy school supplies. You cant keep the stock for the long-term and you have to decide when a good time is going to be for you to sell or trade the stock back. You are going to trade something at a low for something at a high to gain something out of it.
I really like the way you set up this post. You made it where I could understand it and relate to it. Nice job!
