Differences between Investing vs Trading

Pinterest is a social media company that went public in 2019. The company was founded by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp in 2010. As of November 2022, Pinterest has a market capitalization of $17.83 billion. The company operates as a visual discovery engine and has a number of business partners, including major retailers like Target and Walmart.

Pinterest is included in indices like the SPX500 and US100. It is available in a number of countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Pinterest's share price has seen a lot of ups and downs over the past few years. The company's stock hit an all-time high in late Feb 2021 at $85.90 but then fell sharply in mid-2021 after missing user growth expectations. Pinterest recovered somewhat in July 2021, but then plunged again, the average price pre-share in 2022 is around $20.

The company has been working hard to diversify its revenue stream and has made some progress with business collaborations, such as its recent partnership with Shopify. However, it is still highly dependent on advertising income, which makes it vulnerable to economic downturns. Pinterest shares are down nearly 60% from their 2021 highs, but they remain a popular investment for many growth-oriented investors.

The world of investing and trading can be a confusing one, with a lot of jargon and technical terms. So, what is the difference between investing and trading?

Investing is all about buying assets and holding them for the long term, in the hope that they will increase in value over time. Trading CFDs, on the other hand, is all about buying and selling assets in the short term, in the hope of making a quick profit. If you think the price of Pinterest shares will go up, you can buy a PINS.US CFD (known as going long). If you think the price will fall, you can sell a PINS.US CFD (known as going short).

So, which is right for you? It all depends on your goals and attitude to risk. If you're looking to make some quick money, then trading may be the way to go. But if you're more interested in growing your wealth over the long term, then investing may be a better option.
