Comment on Poll: Is Gold the best investment? by Brent G
ino.comSat, 05 May 2012 01:50:24 +0000
In sufficient funds. Commodity and asset depreciation despite low interest. Some poker bubbles in real estate. Cash is king until they print more. Hard to sell and hard to buy, like power struggle between commercial banks and investment banks. Bear market ahead.
Comment on Poll: Is Gold the best investment? by Brendan Burns

“More Americans continue to consider gold the best long-term investment among the major options available,” Gallup declared in an April update of its annual Economy and Personal Finance poll. Twenty-eight percent of respondents chose bullion as their top vehicle, followed by 20% for real estate, 19% favoring stocks/mutual funds, 19% picking savings accounts/CDs, and only 8% opting for bonds. Gallup concluded: “Investing in gold has gained in popularity in recent years as low interest rates have made traditional savings instruments less attractive, and instability in the stock and real-estate markets has undermined the mass appeal of those options. " • Americans feel “gold is the safest long term investment” today, a Gallup survey has found. • Gold was favored over four other types of investments perceived as the best long term choice for American investors today. • 28% of the American public chose gold as their favored investment of choice today. • Real estate followed in second place, with 20% seeing it as the best long term investment. • Paper assets were less popular with savings accounts and certificates of deposits (CDs) tied with stocks and mutual funds at 19%. • Bonds came last at 8%.

Investments in the real estate sector are expected to provide excellent protection against inflationary pressures. This is why they should necessarily be part of portfolios with a long term horizon and aid in diversification. Additionally, they lend stability to a portfolio, despite the difficult phase real estate has passed through recently. This is because the volatility in property prices is far less compared to the kind experienced by stocks over the longer term. Real estate funds offer a cost effective and convenient method of holding these investments.Top 5 Real Estate Mutual Funds - Best of Funds
