Differences between Investing vs Trading

Meta was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The company's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.Over the years, Meta has become one of the world's largest and most popular social networking platforms. It now has over 2 billion monthly active users and is available in more than 150 languages.

In addition to being a social networking platform, Meta is also a powerful tool for businesses and organizations of all sizes. With over 1.5 billion daily active users on the site, Meta provides businesses with a large potential audience for their products and services.

The Meta company share price has been on a roller coaster ride in recent years. While the stock price hit an all-time high of $378.69 per share in September 2021, it plunged to a low of $90.79 per share in November 2022.

Some analysts believe that Meta is facing increased regulatory scrutiny, which could impact the company's bottom line. Others believe that the changes will be positive for the company in the long run. Only time will tell how these changes will impact Meta's stock price.

Investing in Meta shares is a long-term play. You're buying a piece of a company that you believe will be successful over the long term. When you invest in Meta, you're buying shares in a company, and you hope that the value of those shares will increase over time. Trading Meta share price CFDs is a short-term play. You're not buying shares in the company, you're simply betting on the direction of the share price. If you think the share price will go up, you buy a CFD. If you think it will go down, you sell a CFD.

When you trade Meta share price CFDs, you're also subject to leverage. This means that you can control a large position with a small amount of capital. Leverage can work for you or against you, and it's important to understand how it works before you trade.
