There is a difference btw an investor and a trader, an investor is either a fat rich stupid idiot who do not understand anything about capital markets and do not have nerves to execute any trade so they pay a percentage and leave money on the table for jokers like me to have fun with or and institution who manage fund from old people and leave the key to the safe for traders to have fun with
On the other hand a trade is a brilliant individual who have earn the right to recieve free money from investors. Remember, you have to earn a right through hardwork( school). After you have earn the right you can sit and watch supercomputers execute trades for you, good thing is, supercomputers execute trades, you get paid, how cool is that? The rest of the people who call themselve traders are actually dummies, if you still spend time looking at fundemental analyis, you are a dummy quit trading and be an investors!
