What is the difference between Investments and trading?

[prabhaker]

Investment is the initial amount to start a business. It may be small scale business or large scale business. It starts from thousands to crores of investment. With initial amount you can start and run the business continuously and if stabilized you can run permanently.

Trading is the share market business. The investment cost is very low, as the minimum share price is Rs.10/-. Buying and selling shares from the stock market through broker is the trading.  Knowledge and discipline are the main keys to do this business successfully.
