Make the RIGHT first steps to stock investment INTRODUCTION – TRADING VS INVESTING 1. REQUIREMENTS THE INVESTOR LOOKS AT THE INSIDE The investor finds value in the company and they buy believing that the company will continue to have profit growth, no matter what the price. THE TRADER LOOKS AT THE OUTSIDE The trader does not care about a company and they buy believing that the price is right, regardless of the company fundamentals.
2. COMMITMENT THE INVESTOR FALLS IN LOVE WITH A COMPANY The investor decides to last the relationship for a long period of time, despite knowing that they have its ups and downs THE TRADER INTEND TO HAVE A SHORT TERM RELATIONSHIP The trader is not willing to have down periods with the company, therefore only commit short term relationship Copyright © 2008 by Benny Lee, NextView
Make the RIGHT first steps to stock investment INTRODUCTION – TRADING VS INVESTING 3. ACTIVITY THE INVESTOR DOES NOT NEED TO LOOK AT SHARE PRICES ALL THE TIME Investors who buy and hold are not affected by market volatility, therefore they do not cre about price movements. They are only interested in dividends. THE TRADER IS ACTIVE AND LOOKS AT SHARE PRICE FREQUENTLY The Trader identifies opportunities to buy and sell at the right price and time. Therefore, they have to monitor the share price actively and also trade actively.
4. COST THE INVESTOR HAS HIGH COST MAINTAINING THE RELATIONSHIP The investor needs to have holding power a.k.a. lots of money to hold a long term position. Furthermore, dividends are taxable THE TRADER HAS LOWER COST The trader does hold a long term position therefore always have cash. Capital gains are not taxable.
