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. Long-term investments may carry more risk and be less liquid, but they can provide higher returns and are more appropriate when an investor has time to leave the money invested.
