One of the most important things that CAPitalizers learn early on is that short-term financial needs must be matched to short-term financial assets.  If you need your money to be there for you tomorrow, next month, or next year, you want it exposed to as little risk as possible.

Short-term investments are designed to trade rate of return for relative safety.  But what exactly is a short-term investment?  And how do you decide which one may be suitable for you?

Savings accounts, Money Markets, CDs, bonds -- these are just some of the many choices you have in the short term. Learn more about how they work and how to choose among them on this week's edition of CAPitalize Your Finances!
