Medium Term

Categories: Bonds

Like a prison sentence. Eh, 10 years? Is that medium term these days?

The term relates to bonds. A short-term bond is usually less than a year, so "medium term" might be like 5, 10, 15 years? The long bond is 30 years. So that's out there for the really long-term thinkers.
