The first lesson i learned here is that there is a difference between trading and investing (they're not entirely different but the two words aren't synonyms - original discussion here)
Well we all know that in trading there is a distinction between technical analysis and fundamental analysis, and while the first looks a lot like trading by definition, i can't see the distinction between fundamental analysis and investing.
Maybe you can elaborate more about what you do as a trader:
do you look at charts or at 10-Ks? when you buy a stock do you feel ownership in a company, or do you keep in mind that if the market changes the next day you will sell this security?
If you are a trader, do you identify yourself as an investor?
(sorry for the elementary question )
thanks!!
