An investor saving for retirement in 40 years states, 'Assets like equities are too unpredictable and risky due to their price swings. I will only keep my savings in a government-insured savings account that earns a stable, low rate of interest.' Critique this investor's strategy, explaining why it may or may not be optimal for their stated goal.

Given that assets with higher average returns often experience significant short-term price swings, which statement best analyzes the appropriate investment strategy?
An investor with a very short time horizon, such as saving for a major purchase next year, should prioritize assets with high average returns, even if they are known for significant price fluctuations, to maximize potential gains.
