You won't have heard of Warren Buffet taking trading bets, only and only investing that too long term. But the majority of us think that we have the capability of doing both trading and investing. So, a part of us thinks that we are better sorted than him. In reality, trading and investing are very different both in terms of skill sets, requirement of capital and finally the returns which one is able to generate from each of them. That is probably the reason that even the most exceptional wealth creators in the world have accepted this fact and stayed with what they are good at, either investing or trading. The second thing, by basic nature we are all bulls and biased toward taking a long trade rather than a short trade. That was the problem statement. Now what is the solution? Finding the set of stocks, which probably take care of all the personality and traits which one has, trader, investor, averse to booking losses and admitting mistakes.
