A trader buys shares for the purpose of selling them for more, an investor buys shares because he wants to be a part of a company, and profit from its succes and growth in value.
Everyone who buys shares does it to sell them for more at some point. But i think it's not only about time, its also about the mindset with which you buy shares of a company. If you buy shares because you believe you can flip them over for more within a given amount of time, you are trading. If you buy shares to be a part of a company's succes, you are investing. This is usually where time comes in because succesful investments often take years for them to reach their maximum potential.
rick stocks are NOT an investment,because there is NO return. A hammer is an investment which u use to make money,u don't make any money buying stocks.therefore it is NOT an investment.
Didn’t know a thing about the stock market, but I have legit spent the past few hours just watching your videos and I feel a lot more comfortable with jumping in it. Thank you for making things easy to understand.
Trading is short term. Investment is long term. Chances of making money in investment is more than in trading. People think about dividend while investing. Traders mostly do not think about dividend.
Dustin Conner I’m not sure do you trade for dividends? I’m an investor for dividends but specifically REITs and high tech stocks like Nvidia or growth stocks.
Great Video, Clay. I'm sure this will be helpful for folks who want to know the difference between Trading Vs Investing. It all really drills down to the " time " as you mentioned in the video. If you are a trader & bought something for the purpose of trading, cut your losses as quick as you can when things don't go as planned & If you are an investor " you don't care " about what happens in short term because you are in for a long haul. Have a good weekend.
Your videos are terrific! Just starting out, it's overwhelming. I'm meeting with my FA tomorrow and I feel so much better knowing I'll understand what she's doing with my money! Now, with your help, I'm actually considering getting into both trading and investing myself. Thanks!
okay, so if i want to start investing, i can start out with big companies like coke, nike, McDonald's, apple ect. however, if i want to start trading, are those good companies to trade or do i have to find less popular ? im a new subscriber by the way. i like your content. furthermore, i want to trade in the foreseeable future but i want to get the hang of it by watching your videos and read books about trading.
If you use your labor and time to make money, you're an employee. If you use other's labor and time to make money, you're in business. If you use your money to make money, you're an investor, regardless if positions last 30 seconds or 30 years. The timeframe really only applies to the specific strategies employed. Scalping is a very short-term investment, while buy and pray is a very long-term investment. Really today, both of these strategies are dead if used exclusively. The modern way to invest is to use varying strategies at the same time to increase probabilities and reduce cost basis around a core position. This core position evolves as market conditions and assumptions change. This type of investing dramatically improves results, reduces risk and compounds capital quickly. It hasn't become mainstream yet, because people haven't figured out how to sell it to the masses... I swear by it though. Cheers! 😉
Is it worth day trading then if I don’t have over $1000 to start off with? Because then I’ll have to result in using a broker who’s going to charge high correct? Or can it be worth it? And depending on what?
Also thanks it seems I got confused between the two but even though I want to invest in some things I'm mostly looking for trading to gain Money Quickly
How liquid are stocks? Is it like selling a house, which does not pay immediately or can I sell and get paid immediately. My bottom line question is how easy or hard is it to get my money back?
Well I think! Im getting to figure out things about stock market. In my thoughts 1st I need to learn about stocks where should I put my money for investments to practice and learn about stock market, and when the time comes that Ive gotten to used it in stock market, is it the time to go to trading stocks?
I've been doing a lot of research online and checking out different stock trading apps like robinhood, acorns, m1 finance, etc, Question: Is there a specific dollar amount that would constitute for long-term investments? I'm interested in dividend stocks and blue-chip stocks for long-term investments, not interested in day trading or penny stocks.
Can you help with picking 5 G stocks? I keep hearing that I should be buying 5 G stocks before the end of this month, but I don't know which ones to buy or even how to buy stocks.
if you want to "talk stocks/trading in general", that's the entire idea behind my private community here claytrader.com/team which you are welcomed to join.
Trying to learn as much as i can since my brother is making 600-800 a week off trading. Do stocks increase in value over a few hrs sometimes? Or do you have to wait longer to make a bit of good money? Like lets say i buy a stock thats $25 would it increase to $50 or even $100 in an hr or 2 or more?
Hi I'm new to this, what you call 'Day trading'. I mean I just started out, been using this 'iq option' app for the same. Been working on the demo account rn. I'm confused about the 'SELL' option, since, let's say that the particular stocks of a company is down, I'll be buying it right. So what's the use of the sell option anyway? Also what's the trick of this whole situation. I'm sure there are some methods to predict or at least gain a certain amount of knowledge about how a certain company is going to perform in a certain day. Id love to hear about this from you. I've just started watching all your videos, they're quite interesting and easy to understand. Thanks
Claytrader? Do you have anything on Pump and Dumb stocks, just yesterday I was able to somehow have a gut feeling of CPHI that increased by 600%, from .20 to 1.30 and I was able to get in at .60 a shares and got out at .95 ...Are the momentum stocks easy profit if you detect them early?
I'm glad TH-cam led me to your youtube videos as you explain things really well. Can you do a video on the benefits and disadvantages of swing and day trading? like the fees it cost to buy and sell and how much you should consider selling/busying (the amount of shares)etc. im very new to this and watching all your trading videos. Thank you :)
As the word implies Investing means you are invested in what ever you finance. That is financially, emotionally and everything in between. Trading is simply that. Simply for price action
Would you consider some stocks as traditional and safe? Like McDonald's, Disney, Pepsi/Coco-Cola...companies that will be around for a while basically. Or is it unwise to believe any company is "safe" in the market?
Great videos!!! So far I understand your videos for the very beginners. Is there any ordered way to watch them. Do you have a play list where the videos are sorted in a way to watch them one by one? If no? please order them like this and it will be even greater. Because at this point youtube suggests me the videos randomly and I do not want to miss some important information. And as your channel ha a lot of videos, some of them can be probably for the experienced traders. So, if it is possible, it would be really amazing if you ordered the videos, which teach all of this stuff from zero to experienced level. Or maybe you can suggest in what order should I watch your videos/playlists. Thank you very much, you are doing a great job
I am in new zealand which broker would be the best for me? i've asked this question to many but i am not getting the brokrage apps. i wanna start trading with a small amount first but dont know how?
you'll know what platform you need once you know what strategy you are using, you'll know what strategy you are doing after you build one for yourself, you'll know how to build a strategy for yourself once you understand the building tools available, you'll understand the building tools available after going through a proper educational course
So, what is the advantage, beside timing, of trading or investing has over each other? Let's say I buy a stock from MacDonalds and I trade that stock with the value rises by 8% after 2 years. And let say that I buy a stock from Burger King with the same starting value as MacDonalds and that value rises by 8% as well in 7 years. If I trade the share after the 2 years and 7 years respectively, which one will give me the higher gain or will the gain be equal?
Clay I'm trying to find a resource that discusses what is the difference between stocks, penny stocks, options, etfs. Basically I don't understand are they all "stocks" like could Apple for example be every single one of those things? I don't understand how they fit together. Also if you had like a scottrade account do you have to select a "penny stock" tab on order to trade that verses a "stock" tab? I'm not sure if that makes sense but hopefully you understand what I'm asking
ClayTrader oh ya trust me I am no where near pulling the trigger on setting up a broker. I understand that that is the temptation to just jump right in. I have obviously been looking through a ton of your stuff. in wondering would the robtic tradinging material be the obvious place to start even as new as I am? I watched the intro video it seems like the place to start but understanding that I don't know much of anything does that make sense to start there? Thanks!
Good on you then! You're not the norm. Most people are ready to rush right in. To answer your question, Robotic Trading is the exact place you'd want to start.
Can you do a video to explain how to know a stock that is either over-priced or under-priced with example. Am gathering all info to know what to look out for before I start trading. Thanks for your video, they are really informative.
Hey , I had a question that say if I were to buy some shares and hold them , but later if the prices go up is it gurranteed that I'll get buyers to my shares no matter how high the prices surge ?
I am a beginner trader / Investor. I have signed up with a very similar platform you are using. I am interested in buying a stock ACB that is Aurora Cannabis. In Canada Marijuana is going to legal in July. This is one of the companies expanding. I would like to hang on to the Shares for awhile and watch the Companies progress and see were ,it goes. I have a feeling a larger company will either merge or buy them out. Which most likely will drive the Shares up. How do I enter this on the Platform to make the Trade? Thank You Merle
Okay so I need a channel that focuses on investing, not trading. Any recommendations guys? thanks Btw I subscribed, your channel is gold for learning basic principles of the market regardless if you're investor or trader
When you say that you profit off of different stocks for retirement and don’t check on them often, you mean you make money off of dividend right? (sorry if i worded this terribly, im *just* getting into the stock market and am trying to learn)
So I think this basically means if you have faith in the company, people behind the project, they are heading on the right track & believe that the company can give long term returns, you will INVEST in it for long term & if you don't have faith in the same, but you know that some kind of temporary event is going to occur in the company which will boost the prices after the event occurs, you will TRADE in it. Right?
Something like that, although you are making broad statements such as "Faith"... how do you define a logical reason to "have faith" in a company? If you're interested in this, I offer an investing course here - claytrader.com/courses/grow-rich/
I have 1 question, when you buy a share in a company, what are you getting? Are you getting money over time as the company makes money depending on how big your share is?
what tools do you use when you are deciding what to buy or sell? I just started to take a interest in the stock market but I'm very new to it. I've watched almost all of your videos up to this point. I really appreciate if you could get back to me maybe give me a little more insight into how you Monitor and determine what stocks you personally would buy or invest in
Soo investing with no divendents is basically trading but with a longer period of time, and both investors and traders will sell the stocks after a period of time. Did I get it right? Oooh and also apparently investing long term and investing in index funds have a much lower risks than day/swing trading?
i find your videos great i believe in long term i try to buy 3 or 5 shares not 20 or more is this good idea if a compony sells products that people use should i buy more stock i like a video called 10 things rich people do that poor people dont i always look at the market just to find out what componies are making its fun
Great video. I have been swing trading for the past year and a half or so. I have really only done one day trade. Last year I bought AMBA who make computer chips for GOPRO. GoPro had a bad earnings report and AMBA dropped very quickly. I saw an opportunity in the pre-market trading and bought in. Went for a run and when I came back AMBA bounced back so I took a profit right away when the regular market opened. The conundrum I have is that I don't completely understand what a "free ride" is. From what I do understand you must have cleared funds in your account before you can sell a stock. Luckily that day I had cleared funds. Let's say I sell a stock and then use the funds to buy another stock-before I can sell the new stock I just bought the sell from the other stock must clear first. Is this correct? Is there any way around this? I don't want to miss opportunities to sell if I can make a quick buck. Thanks for your videos.
When you sell shares before the price drops. To who or how do you sell shares? Sell them back to the company you bought them from or to another? How and Who?
Hey, thanks a lot for this video; I learned a lot. Can you d a video explaining how to get your money out.Say, I invested in Coca-cola 2 years ago, and I all of a sudden I have an emergency and need the money. Do I just go to the bank and withdraw it, and what if I opened a traders account online and there is no physical branch? Do you get that money by selling it or can you just withdraw it? Is selling and withdrawing the same in stock language?
You would just log into your broker and request they send the money to you. Most times, your brokerage account will be linked up with a bank account, so they can just send it to you directly. You need to first "sell", and then after you "sell", you can "withdraw" the money.
Oohh I see, and who do I sell it to other traders or to the online brokerage? Can you do a tutorial on how to sell a stock? Yes, these basic videos are very helpful, you should do more. Thanks a lot
I have only just stared investing/trading. I didn't really see that big of a difference between the two. I guess I view it all as trading regardless of time. Basically you can go from 'Day Trader', to 'Swing Trader', to 'Investment trader'. That would correspond with your time frames. But maybe I'm missing something. As I say, I have just started so I may be out of my depth when it comes to the intricacies.
ClayTrader I’m not convinced...seems to be down to semantics. Yeah there is a massive difference between a day trader and someone that invests and believes in a company, but they both make a trade. There’s ‘confusion’ and overlap because there’ is an overlap. We both buy and sell which constitutes trading. The only ultimate difference as you’ve highlighted in the video is the adjective you use in relation to your buying and selling...that adjective describing duration. I guess it doesn’t really matter either way...just thinking out loud...no disrespect! “Investment Strategies To Learn Before Trading” www.investopedia.com/investing/investing-strategies/ . Prime example of the confusion/overlap. They also have an article arguing for a ‘massive difference’ approach too. 🤦🏻♂️😳
Trading won't teach you about "trading", but if you want to learn about "investing" in a very theoretical sense, you'd want to do some kind of finance degree.
Very interesting videos..now, question, for investing in Stocks, what kind of stocks are best?, I know you are focusing on trading, but would really appreciate your thoughts /comments :) thank you.
A trader buys shares for the purpose of selling them for more, an investor buys shares because he wants to be a part of a company, and profit from its succes and growth in value.
Yes, I mean an investor does the same thing, but just over a much much longer period of time.
Everyone who buys shares does it to sell them for more at some point. But i think it's not only about time, its also about the mindset with which you buy shares of a company. If you buy shares because you believe you can flip them over for more within a given amount of time, you are trading. If you buy shares to be a part of a company's succes, you are investing. This is usually where time comes in because succesful investments often take years for them to reach their maximum potential.
Thanks for your opinion.
rick stocks are NOT an investment,because there is NO return.

Agree for the most part.
Is trading and investment is same platform ?
What about dividend trading?
Dustin Conner I’m not sure do you trade for dividends? I’m an investor for dividends but specifically REITs and high tech stocks like Nvidia or growth stocks.
@@erikt3162 Yes. I do, mainly in a Roth that I run for my mother.

So investing is the idea of the company, swing trading the actions of the company, and day trading is the actions of the stock price?
Yeah, I'd say that's fair.
Hey , I had a question that say if I were to buy some shares and hold them , but later if the prices go up is it gurranteed that I'll get buyers to my shares no matter how high the prices surge ?
The only way a price goes up is if there is buyers, so yeah, you'd have buyers.
Great video
Thanks
I am a beginner trader / Investor. I have signed up with a very similar platform you are using. I am interested in buying a stock ACB that is Aurora Cannabis. In Canada Marijuana is going to legal in July. This is one of the companies expanding. I would like to hang on to the Shares for awhile and watch the Companies progress and see were ,it goes. I have a feeling a larger company will either merge or buy them out. Which most likely will drive the Shares up.
How do I enter this on the Platform to make the Trade?
Thank You

You need an online broker claytrader.com/blog/best-online-stock-broker/
Okay so I need a channel that focuses on investing, not trading. Any recommendations guys? thanks
Btw I subscribed, your channel is gold for learning basic principles of the market regardless if you're investor or trader
Welcome aboard!
When you say that you profit off of different stocks for retirement and don’t check on them often, you mean you make money off of dividend right? (sorry if i worded this terribly, im *just* getting into the stock market and am trying to learn)
Correct
So I think this basically means if you have faith in the company, people behind the project, they are heading on the right track & believe that the company can give long term returns, you will INVEST in it for long term & if you don't have faith in the same, but you know that some kind of temporary event is going to occur in the company which will boost the prices after the event occurs, you will TRADE in it. Right?
Something like that, although you are making broad statements such as "Faith"... how do you define a logical reason to "have faith" in a company? If you're interested in this, I offer an investing course here - claytrader.com/courses/grow-rich/
I am both ways. I have money for long term and also like to buy stocks for fun.
Nothing wrong with multiple streams of income...
How do I setup my computer and what software are you using for your charts when you trade?
Here's what I use (and other choices) claytrader.com/resources/
ClayTrader okay thank you I definitely look forward to growing from you and supporting you with your products
Cheers
good way to explain it
Thanks.
I have 1 question, when you buy a share in a company, what are you getting? Are you getting money over time as the company makes money depending on how big your share is?
Give this a look - claytrader.com/blogs/trading-101/
Awesome explanation. I want to start trading trading but only want to spare +-100 euro. Is that enough? ( to get a feel for the market.)
Nope. Keep saving.
I would like your Opinion on which one will you would do if you were trying to Get Money to buy a house
A job.
@@claytrader Lmao Guess it does make sense to save money rather then just spending it all, Thanks for the advice
@@jashandeepsingh2239 a job is a great first way to start to gain income, and then after you have some savings, you'll get more flexibility
Hi Clay I am new to this. Love your videos. What is open mean? I bought a stock but its open?
Give this a watch th-cam.com/video/DF23jO8Y0n0/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgwFP-2VL0It5FOF9-N4AaABAg
Nice one ClayTrader 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 #success100
Thanks.
Amazing videos
quick question if I invest in a company do I get paid dividends monthly yearly and how much do I earn approximately?
That company itself dictates all of those policies.
@@claytrader So how can I know how many times the company pays and what do I get back on my investments how do I learn and calculate it ?
What's the difference between day trading and scalping?
Scalping is a type of day trading.
Nice idol
Thanks
what tools do you use when you are deciding what to buy or sell? I just started to take a interest in the stock market but I'm very new to it. I've watched almost all of your videos up to this point. I really appreciate if you could get back to me maybe give me a little more insight into how you Monitor and determine what stocks you personally would buy or invest in
That's the whole idea behind these videos claytrader.com/courses/
Best of the best u made it as easy a can be
Thanks for the feedback.
Is it possible to do both with maybe with 2 separate accounts trading and investing at the same time ??
Absolutely. That's what I do.
Thank you!!
You're welcome.
Soo investing with no divendents is basically trading but with a longer period of time, and both investors and traders will sell the stocks after a period of time. Did I get it right?
Oooh and also apparently investing long term and investing in index funds have a much lower risks than day/swing trading?
Correct.
@@claytrader thanks man really appreciate you still replying after 4 years ☺️
@@myth469 trying my best!
Do you have to be a specific age to start trading
18
i find your videos great i believe in long term i try to buy 3 or 5 shares not 20 or more is this good idea if a compony sells products that people use should i buy more stock i like a video called 10 things rich people do that poor people dont i always look at the market just to find out what componies are making its fun
Thanks for the feedback.
Great video. I have been swing trading for the past year and a half or so. I have really only done one day trade. Last year I bought AMBA who make computer chips for GOPRO. GoPro had a bad earnings report and AMBA dropped very quickly. I saw an opportunity in the pre-market trading and bought in. Went for a run and when I came back AMBA bounced back so I took a profit right away when the regular market opened.
The conundrum I have is that I don't completely understand what a "free ride" is. From what I do understand you must have cleared funds in your account before you can sell a stock. Luckily that day I had cleared funds. Let's say I sell a stock and then use the funds to buy another stock-before I can sell the new stock I just bought the sell from the other stock must clear first. Is this correct? Is there any way around this? I don't want to miss opportunities to sell if I can make a quick buck. Thanks for your videos.
No way around it. You need to let funds settle, part of the whole regulation of the markets. An annoyance for sure.
Thank you
You're welcome.
When you sell shares before the price drops. To who or how do you sell shares? Sell them back to the company you bought them from or to another? How and Who?

Hey, thanks a lot for this video; I learned a lot. Can you d a video explaining how to get your money out.Say, I invested in Coca-cola 2 years ago, and I all of a sudden I have an emergency and need the money. Do I just go to the bank and withdraw it, and what if I opened a traders account online and there is no physical branch? Do you get that money by selling it or can you just withdraw it? Is selling and withdrawing the same in stock language?
You would just log into your broker and request they send the money to you. Most times, your brokerage account will be linked up with a bank account, so they can just send it to you directly. You need to first "sell", and then after you "sell", you can "withdraw" the money.
Oohh I see, and who do I sell it to other traders or to the online brokerage? Can you do a tutorial on how to sell a stock? Yes, these basic videos are very helpful, you should do more. Thanks a lot
Here ya go: claytrader.com/videos/stock-market-work/
I have only just stared investing/trading. I didn't really see that big of a difference between the two. I guess I view it all as trading regardless of time. Basically you can go from 'Day Trader', to 'Swing Trader', to 'Investment trader'. That would correspond with your time frames. But maybe I'm missing something. As I say, I have just started so I may be out of my depth when it comes to the intricacies.
There is a massive difference.
ClayTrader I’m not convinced...seems to be down to semantics. Yeah there is a massive difference between a day trader and someone that invests and believes in a company, but they both make a trade. There’s ‘confusion’ and overlap because there’ is an overlap. We both buy and sell which constitutes trading. The only ultimate difference as you’ve highlighted in the video is the adjective you use in relation to your buying and selling...that adjective describing duration. I guess it doesn’t really matter either way...just thinking out loud...no disrespect! “Investment Strategies To Learn Before Trading” www.investopedia.com/investing/investing-strategies/ . Prime example of the confusion/overlap. They also have an article arguing for a ‘massive difference’ approach too. 🤦🏻♂️😳
@@tradingfitz9031 you are way overthinking this....
ClayTrader this is true!🤦🏻♂️😅😂
What are the college courses that would teach or give me background about trading investing or stock market
Trading won't teach you about "trading", but if you want to learn about "investing" in a very theoretical sense, you'd want to do some kind of finance degree.
ClayTrader how about stock market
A finance degree.
@@claytrader Ok thankyou very much
You're welcome.
Can you do a video towards investment? - e.g ETF/Mutual Funds? Thank you !
I have lots of videos here claytrader.com/video/trading-101/
Since stocks are a form of income, how do taxes play into the situation, or are stocks tax free
If you make money, those gains are taxed.
ClayTrader let’s say u r tax dependent, how does that play out?
Very interesting videos..now, question, for investing in Stocks, what kind of stocks are best?, I know you are focusing on trading, but would really appreciate your thoughts /comments :) thank you.
Very good question. I actually have an entire video training on it here - claytrader.com/courses/grow-rich/
u r awesome my friend
Thanks
