I like trading, because I can make a decent living out of it. But although money can come easy through trading after some hard work learning how to trade and planning and executing your trading plans you hear the odd story of how investment is way better than trading actively. There was a stock that in the last three years that would have allowed you to grow an initial $1000 investment into $131,666 or alternatively if you picked the "other stock" you would have earned $107,432 in three years by simply sitting on your hands. No trading plans, no time going in and out of trades as well as analysing them. the two stocks? Uranium explorer Paladin and Fortescue Metals. Rise in price had been fuelled by sheer growth as neither pays dividends.
