炒股 (chǎo gǔ) — to speculate in stocks, to trade stocks for short-term profit

Definition

炒股 means 'to speculate/trade stocks' for short-term gain — used as a verb phrase. The 单字 炒 also covers food (stir-fry) and hype (炒新闻), so context disambiguates; 投机 is more literary and generalizes to any market speculation.
