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 more liquid and lower risk, but offer lower returns, so they are appropriate when you may need the money soon. Long-term investments may offer higher returns but typically involve more risk and less liquidity, making them more appropriate when you can leave the money invested for longer.
