Strategic investing involves balancing short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals. For short-term goals, like saving for a vacation in a year, I use high-yield savings accounts or money market funds for safety and liquidity. For medium-term goals, such as buying a house in five years, I invest in a mix of bonds and balanced mutual funds for stability and moderate growth. For long-term goals, like retirement, I choose stocks and ETFs for higher growth potential, despite higher risk. This diversified approach helps manage risk while pursuing different financial objectives.
