When it comes to Bouygues shares, there are two main ways to approach the market - through investing or trading. Both have their own distinct set of risks and rewards that need to be considered before making any decisions. Here's a quick rundown of the key differences between investing and trading Bouygues shares CFDs:
Investing in Bouygues shares means buying and holding the stock for a long period of time, typically years. The goal is to benefit from the company's overall growth and profitability. This approach requires a lot of patience and discipline, as there will be ups and downs along the way.
Trading Bouygues shares CFDs, on the other hand, is a more active approach. CFD traders aim to profit from short-term price movements, taking advantage of both rising and falling markets. This style of trading requires a higher level of risk tolerance, as losses can be amplified.
