Understanding long term investing vs short term trading helps you grow your money on the Nigerian Exchange.
In simple words: Long term investing means buying shares and keeping them for many years like planting a palm tree. Short term trading means buying and selling quickly like a market trader selling tomatoes today. Knowing the difference in long term investing vs short term trading shows beginners how it works.
For example: You buy shares for one thousand naira and wait five years. Or you sell them next week for quick cash.
Remember:
- Long term investing needs patience.
- Short term trading needs daily attention.
- Both happen on the NGX.
