Investing:
Put money into shares, property etc. with the hope of earning profit.
Speculating:
Investing with the hope of gaining high profits but with an equally greater risk of loss. It is investing with high risks.

Investing is a generic term for giving your money to a company (or person) in the expectation of getting back more money than you put in by receiving a single payment or series of payments.

Speculation implies a higher risk investment.

Trading is the act or buying or selling an investment.
