Of course it's nothing scientific, just the first thing that came up when I googled it...lol, but here's a good take on the difference between the two.
The main difference between a trader and an investor is the duration for which the person holds the asset. Investors tend to have a longer-term time horizon, while traders tend to hold assets for shorter periods of time to capitalize on short-term trends.
So traders are 'kind of' investors, not the real thing but they invest. Thats why it feels normal to say 'long term investors or short term traders' but not the opposite.
Seems like a trader is not an investor... but he does invest money still.
Bago - can't let this easy one slide..are you going to say I'm 'off topic' or that I don't bring anything? ... and just in case... 'BBD isn't a turd today'... just so you can count it as a comment about how BBD is trading today.
