<prompt> Human: Like the title says, id like to invers 5k in an emergency fund, are ETFs a good place to put that money? Im new to the stock market aswell!Edit: grammar  <response>: Emergency funds should be liquid. Emergency funds should be in safe investments that are unlikely to go down in the short term. ETFs are generally invested in equities. Equities can go down or up a lot in the short-term. Investing an investment fund in equities is a bad idea. If you invest your emergency fund in a bondtreasury heavy ETF, you might be okay. But if you invest it in an equity stocketc heavy ETF, it would not be a good idea. TLDR: Keep your emergency fund in cash. A high yield savings account is usually good. A money market account is fine. Dont try to make a lot of money off your emergency fund. It is meant to be there when you need it.
