Trader vs Investor

My take?

Trader :
  • no-money-down operations. 
  • Share holder until the time is ripe. Might be just a few seconds/minutes/hours/days. 
  • Sell or short the stocks(borrow stocks and sell them) when the trading floor trend says so. 
  • Has more courage than investors because they dare to make decisions quick, in seconds/minutes/hours/days.

Investor :
  • money-down for the long run. 
  • Share owner from minutes to eternity. 
  • Long the stocks when everyone else is selling. 
  • Has a lot of courage to wait it out til the storm is over.
