Trade (financial instrument)
- Trade (financial instrument)
A Trade involves the buying, holding, selling, and short-selling of stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, derivatives or any valuable financial instrument to profit from fluctuations in its price as opposed to buying it for use or for income via methods such as dividends or interest. A trade is similar to speculation and investing, but differs in that the position in the security is intended to be held for a very short time, generally less than a week.
