Neither "stock market" nor "trading" is inherently better; they are different approaches to finance, with
investing (in the stock market) focusing on long-term wealth with lower risk (buy-and-hold for years) and trading aiming for quick profits from short-term price swings, requiring high skill, time, and bearing higher risk. Choose investing for gradual wealth, passive income, and less stress, but pick trading if you enjoy active market analysis and can handle greater volatility for potentially faster returns.
