Investing vs Speculating!📈 What is the difference between speculation and investment?

Hello everyone! My name is Denis and today we gonna talk about investing and speculating. And I will explain to you where the money comes from.
When I am talking about speculating I mean short term trades like:
1) Future contracts trading.
2) All types of day-trading.
3) Put and Calls with short expiration time.
and 4) Short selling (because technically you can't hold it for the long term...)
If you have bad results on the stock market, I suggest you stop doing day and swing trading and focus on INVESTING
When I am talking about investing, I mean that you will hold something for the long term, and you will receive profit via capital gains and dividends. For the last 25 years, it is not possible to lose money when you buy and hold SPY for 5+ years. If you invest consistently every month it will be around 3 years.
Now we have to talk, where the money comes from?
When you speculating, in 90% of the time you play versus other people. If you make a profit, someone loses. And if you lose money someone making them. What do you think, Is it a good idea to fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov on UFC? 28 Fights! 28 Wins! On the stock market, it is the same! What professionals use: 1) Additional data 2) Better information 3) Faster internet 4) better execution 5) high-frequency trade robots 6) inside information 7) screening robots and lots of other things... I am not talking that short term trading could not be profitable, I am talking that it is very hard to do and you need to spend a very huge amount of money to find your trading style.
When you investing it is different. Let's have a look at an ideal situation.
