Financial Matters: Shares – difference between investing and trading

Last week on financial matters we talked about the shares, what are they, how and where can you buy them, as well as the do’s and don’ts of buying shares. So this week we continue with our discussions about shares and Dr Frank Magwegwe, elaborates on how to differentiate between investing and trading in shares. Everyone looks at investing in shares through the same lens as trading - and the confusion between the two makes sense. They both involve shares, they both happen in the markets, and both are ultimately meant to earn profit for the participant. However, there are major differences between the two. SO joins as Dr Frank Magwegwe, Head of Financial Wellness and Advisory at Nedbank and GIBS faculty member, unpacks this for us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
