Traders are investors with shorter time horizons; they are not different animals. Buying a stock because you think the company is a good value and will grow over time is not different than buying a stock because you think it's going to have positive earnings out tomorrow and the price is going to bounce; both buyers are investors and both are trading, simply on different time horizons.
