Investment is where your assured of a payoff in the long run whereas with speculation your not. Investment is intended to be much less risky than speculation in general.

Here are some definitions:investment: the act of investing; after doing your due diligence on what it is you want to invest in and comfortable with the information, you lay out money with the expectation of profit . Speculation: an investment that is very risky but could yield great profits. You invest in well known stocks, you speculate on oil futures contracts.

in stock market:
investment is made on fundamentals of the company
speculation is made on purely trading

I dont know the answer for this please help...

Investment is trading stocks/commodities within your means and speculation is over-trading by depositing margin money.

Investments are usually done after careful study. Things need not work as you plan but it is better than gambling.
Speculation is like shooting in the dark. It is pure gambling.

I kinda disagree with the answers so far and would offer that the difference is the probability of a profitable return. What is speculation to one person is investment to another.

Investment is actual deployment of your capital in a business. It may be based on a sound assessment of the Company's fundamentals or based purely on speculation.Speculation means a wild guess on the kind of earnings your investments can bring or the amount of loss you might avoid by taking out the money presently invested in a particular share, because you guess it is going to lose money. It is always wiser to rely on proper evaluations rather than to go by rumours and speculations. Many a fortune has been unnecessarily lost in this speculative trading.

Investment is a process where you put your money after a thorough research i.e. fundamental & technicals of the company.It is much safer. speculation is like gambling. It involves a lot of risk & you can lose your money heavily.
