Trading Or Investing?
– IntelligentSpeculator.net
What’s the difference between a trader and an investor? I personally find the debate fascinating and it’s interesting because there is no “right” answer. I personally consider myself a bit of both but I wouldn’t mind being called one or the other. It’s not a big thing. I know of many individuals that get very annoyed when being called these names, especially those that consider themselves investors are end up being called traders.What Is An Investor?
Here is how I view the difference. To me, an investor is someone who tries to establish the value or future value of an asset and trades accordingly. Investors generally have a longer term perspective. Traders on the other hand are generally very short sighted. They will trade on news, on stock movements, etc. Most traders will hold stocks for a days, a few hours and sometimes dramatically less (most HFT firms hold stocks for a few seconds only).

Americans Fama, Hansen and Shiller win economics Nobel for analysis of asset prices
– canadianbusiness.com
STOCKHOLM – Americans Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller won the Nobel prize for economics on Monday for developing new methods to study trends in asset markets.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the three had laid the foundation of the current understanding of asset prices.
While it’s hard to predict whether stock or bond prices will go up or down in the short term, it’s possible to foresee movements over periods of three years or longer, the academy said.
“These findings, which might seem surprising and contradictory, were made and analyzed by this year’s laureates,” the academy said.
Fama, 74, and Hansen, 60, are associated with the University of Chicago. Shiller, 67, is a professor at Yale University.
American researchers have dominated the economics awards in recent years; the last time there was no American among the winners was in 1999.
