What is share trading?

Share trading is buying and selling shares, which can be done quickly for a profit. In contrast to regular investors who use long-term strategies to invest their money into companies’ shares, traders usually have more volatile investment patterns because they focus on the price fluctuations that occur daily or recently rather than just looking at how profitable it will potentially become over time.
