It's very difficult for me or to identify the precise moment at which investing turns into speculating or vice versa, or, more generally, to separate symptoms from causes and chickens from eggs in this discussion. Is volatility what makes this environment hostile to investment, or is the hostility of this environment to investment (average valuations far above historical norms, an uncertain economic and political situation, etc.) the source of volatility? It's seems at least as reasonable to me to see trading as a rational response to bad investment choices (indeed, that was my excuse, until I realized how much I liked trading) as to see bad investment choices as the result of too much trading.
