Investing is to put money to use, to purchase or expenditure, in something offering profitable returns. We invest money on share trading expecting to get profits. When something is done in investing and if it gives a profit, it obviously becomes a business. So, share trading is a business not at all gambling. 

The first time a company sells stock, it is called and Initial Public Offering (IPO). When you purchase stock during the IPO, the money goes to the company whose stock you are buying.

Investing in stocks is easier than beginners might think — all you need is an online brokerage account to get started.

Intraday trading, also called day trading, is the buying and selling of stocks and other financial instruments within the same day. In other words, intraday trading means all positions are squared-off before the market closes and there is no change in ownership of shares as a result of the trades.
