Why investing is better than trading

After several years of active trading and conversations with many traders, I can assert unhesitatingly, that investing in most cases more appropriate than trading. But what are main advantages of investing comparing to trading? Let's name few of them.

Trading requires a lot more time. As opposed to trading, investing doesn't demand from you same amount of time. You can easily combine investing with your customary lifestyle. Even if we talk about something less time consuming than day trading, nevertheless it will challenge you to a greater extent.

Psychological stress. Since trading is more intensive than investing it inevitably leads to higher emotional exhaustion. And too much anxiety causes a performance drop. Errors are more likely to occur.
On the other side when you are an investor it can be less exciting but let you encounter stressful situation a far less.

The statistic in favour of investors. About 90% of traders lose their money on the market, 9-9.9% produce some positive outcome or break even. Only 0.1-1% of them achieve feasible success. A number of successful investors are about 60-70%. And it's quite easier for an ordinary person to make money as an investor rather than a trader.

You can't lose unless you close your position. The investor has a chance to succeed until he doesn't sell his stock. Even after severe drop stock can return to a previous level and go higher. Diversifying portfolio investors can secure themselves from a particular ineffectual investment.
