Now if you invest then you will:
Safety: while investing you must ensure your investment is safe.
Liquidity: Whether it will be possible to get it back when you want or if you want money back in 10 years. You must be able to get it back whenever you want to.
Returns: Many times all these criteria contradict with each other-e.g. Long term investments might have higher rate of return, but they are not liquid or the investments where there are higher returns are not safe. While investing we have to look into all three aspects and balance them.
