You can set a sell-stop order with any investments,

Because a gap down could be painful for an emergency reserve.

Touche on the not all investments have sell-stops. Not sure why I said that.
My personal thoughts about an emergency fund and investing is always that the risks of both the stock market crash of over 20% and you needing the emergency fund are very very low, unless you are a stock broker or something. Furthermore, if you invest the money and after 2-3 years get a 20% or great return now you are hedged even greater against a loss. Certainly there is moderate risk the first 2-4 years of investing the money, but after that its almost all gravy as any loss is still greater than you had originally if you had not invested it.
