I read in an article, that one could look onto investing as one's partnership with India Inc.
To build up on this, there's lots of karmic positive to investing.
An investment builds up a cash-vacuum around the investing person, which attracts more cash to the person. The longer the cash-vacuum is sustained, the more cash is attracted in the long run. To extrapolate this view on investing towards an extreme, one could look onto investing in India as an act of charity towards India till the investment is terminated and the money returned to one. Investing in one's country results in good Karma.
On the other hand, trading results in myriads of mini-vacuums daily, which get annihilated in the short-term. This frenzy of vacuums leads to chaos and no replicable gain in good Karma as such, unless one does good deeds like helping others, as many of the Traderji site members are doing.
The intriguing part is that one of the Trader's goals is to make money on the flip and on the flop, i.e. when the markets are going up and when the markets are coming down [The investor makes money when the markets go up]. To earn when the country's on the downslide, and to be gleeful about it is something I need to think hard about. I don't know if I'll be able to do it, since one of my goals in life is to commit actions with the highest possible positive Karma values.
