The cornerstone of successful investing involves crafting an investment plan that aligns with your short-, intermediate-, and long-term goals and then selecting the right investment options to achieve those goals.

Some investments are better than others for generating income. Others are better for long-range growth. Some provide tax advantages. You might be interested in the short-term excitement of speculative investments. Or you may just feel comfortable with safe, secure investments to minimize your risk.

The more you learn about the different types of investments, the better off you will be when it comes time to make investment choices for your portfolio.
