Short Term Investments by Maia Monell
Your savings time-frame matters HUGELY when it comes to investing. Your strategy for the short-term (one to three years) will be a lot different than your long-term (10 to 30-year) strategy.
The reason is simple: Most long-term investments (like stocks and stock-based funds) tend to be too risky for short-term objectives. Stock markets rise and fall, and if you’re unlucky enough to need the cash when the market’s tanked, you’re out that investment.
