investing is trading without the risk management.

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

I disagree, and prefer this version that I've read elsewhere:

Speculation is an effort - probably unsuccessful - to turn a little money into a lot. Investing is an effort - which should be successful - to prevent a lot of money from becoming a little. And people who try to get rick quick insist on calling themselves “investors” (or “traders”), even though they are clearly speculators.

It's fine to disagree. Investors are people who use the word "investing" as an excuse for the fact that they buy value, management, product and long term potential. They buy at the high of the market, then they try to manage they their so called "investing" via trading.
