Based on what you have learned in the lesson and the assignment, write two or three sentences describing how short-term and long-term investing options differ and when each is more appropriate.

Answer:

Short-term investments are generally safer and more liquid, making them appropriate when money may be needed soon, although they usually provide lower returns.

Based on what you have learned in the lesson and the assignment, write two or three sentences describing how short-term and long-term investing options differ and when each is more appropriate.
