Investing and trading have existed in various forms since the invention of money, but for the purposes of this article I would like to examine narrower, purpose-specific definitions for these terms. In the financial sector, investment is generally understood as a long-term duration of 1 to 10 years. But trading can last from a few milliseconds to more.
