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.

Thank you for all of the videos, they're short, sweet and to the point. You sharing all of your knowledge is increasing my success.

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.

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.

You have the best channel for beginners Thanks!

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!

Very helpful video. Thanks ClayTrader

This cleared my thoughts on it. I'm following you from now on man. Maybe, I'll be linking your vids to some of my posts on my blog. 👌

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.

Very helpful, thank you!!!

Great! I'm a beginner. you gave me very good knowledge

Thank you!!!!

Nice one ClayTrader 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 #success100

Great video

Very useful.

Best of the best u made it as easy a can be

Thank you

good way to explain it

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

Hi Clay I am new to this. Love your videos. What is open mean? I bought a stock but its open?

I also liked, subscribed and shared your video.

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?

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?

Mahalo 4 the excellent vid.

Thanks for the heads up.Any company that sell it's shares that you khow,and for how much

u r awesome my friend

Thank you for the video. What, in your opinion, is the minimum amount that you should start “investing” with?

my light bulb went off. thank you mr. kind white guy! For making it even simpler!

You have made a very complicated concept so simple. Thank you so much for providing useful information to the average Joe.

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

Good video

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?

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 ?

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

I'm glad KZfaq 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 :)

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.

Is it possible to do both with maybe with 2 separate accounts trading and investing at the same time ??

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?

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.

Where can i buy these T-shirts ? cant find on website

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?

Hi clay what plays main role in trading experience or any sort of strategy.

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

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

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?

Amazing videos quick question if I invest in a company do I get paid dividends monthly yearly and how much do I earn approximately?

GREAT INFO, THANK YOU!

what do you think about the app robinhood....what is it and does it work

Can you do a video towards investment? - e.g ETF/Mutual Funds? Thank you !

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

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.)

Can you tell me which one is better? I mean should I invest or do trading?

What is one of the online brokers that you recommend to use it? Such as AmeriTrade, is it a good website to use?

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.

I like your logo.

Hi. How many trades should we take per day /week to be considered as Trader ?

Nice idol

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?

May we all succeed in all aspects of our lives and endeavors 🧿🏁

What books do you recommend to read ?

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?

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.

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?

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! 😉

Please make a video about how to analyze the stock data using excel

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?

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?

I think trading is a type of investing

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.

does forex market,commodities market work the same as stock market

Thanks for the video. Helpful presentation on time frames. I think a key difference too is that day trading or swing tradingwould have a focus on technicals, whereas investing would be much less, if at all, since in a 5 year timeframe or longer one would certainty expect any technical levels could be broken given natural ebb and flow of market.

so if youre investing in long term.. you can only profit if the company give dividends? i mean who would buy a share for example thats $15 but has no dividend? i dont even know if im making sense lol.. hope my question is correct haha

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

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?

What is a liquid in stock terms?

I have separate accounts for investing and trading. The boomer strategy I used on my 11-year account gave me larger overall returns.

How do markets buy your shares?? What is the value of your sharing to the market?
