Long-term Investing
You have a variety of long-term investing options depending on your risk strategy, age, financial situation, and long-term financial goals. Here are some general rules to consider for long-term investing: Don't invest a lot of money in the stock market that you anticipate needing within 10 years. The stock market investments should be evaluated over a long period of time to guarantee high performance results. By committing your stock investments for the long term, you'll avoid panic selling when the stock market dips or even crashes. You'll be able to ride out the rough spots for greater returns over time.

Short-term Investing
If your investment goals are all short term, avoid riskier investments such as stocks and stock mutual funds. Although stocks do produce the highest interest rates in the long run, they are extremely volatile in the short run. If you are investing with the intention of buying a house in a few years or paying for a high school child's college tuition, stick with safer investments such as bonds and CDs.
