This would lead to another decision like what term investment it should be. It can be a long-term, short term or medium one. If someone wants a huge amount of money in a short time then they have to consider high risks. Their prediction, planning, investment, and risks are four correlated cycles one should focus on before the stock market opens and during the stock market.
