Short-term investing, also called active trading, involves buying and selling investments hoping to profit from quick price movements, often within seconds, days or weeks. It is different from buying and holding for the long term. 

Instead of buying the stock itself, you could buy a derivative contract that lets you profit if the price goes up or down. Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on another asset, like a stock, index, currencies or bond. 

They can be used for various purposes, but short-term traders often use them to make bets on price changes without buying the underlying asset itself.

• Short-term investing and derivative trading are generally riskier than long-term investing.
• They require more time, effort, and knowledge to be successful.
