Expected return from stocks Im wondering if i should speculate for short term capital gains or be an investor and ensure long term return. Im quite inclined towards being an investor, but always wonder if i would receive enough return on my investments. What is expected as return from stocks as an investor? Difference between investor and speculator? I have made over $2000 over the last 4 months trading on equities. I sell most of my investments when i think the time is right. I’m confused as to whether i’m an investor or a speculator. Can someone help me understand my status please?
