Investing, like any other worthwhile endeavor in life, takes planning. These are all good pieces to the plan, but how much of each of these categories works for you, is a personal decision… dependent on things like your age, risk preference and desired amount of current income.

This is very valuable info for the novice investor!

I agree. The three considerations in choosing where to invest are risk, liquidity, and of course, return.

In choosing where to invest, we must be able to calculate how much risk can we tolerate.

Sounds simple, but it will be hard to practise it.
The emotion of greed and fear always overule the logic and common senses. Only those who had learn and unlearn will harvest the fruits of their labors.

I can only think of mutual funds, trust funds, and time deposits.

Some simple investment is time… Just give yourself a time for learning and you will harvest it soon as you need it.

i like these pointers. Quick question for you. Apart from money market funds and savings, what other highly liquid investments can you think of?? i want my options as open as possible with as little cash in the bank while still maintaining an acceptable level of liquiidity
