Question

Which of these are considered both short- and long-term investments? Select four options.

CDs
stocks
savings accounts
mutual funds
bonds
commodities

Answer 1

Stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and commodities.

Reason: each of those can be held for short-term trading/speculation or as longer-term investments, depending on the investor’s horizon. Savings accounts are primarily short-term/liquid, and CDs are typically treated as short- to medium-term cash-equivalents.
