Real estate is top investing choice
Given the recent record highs in the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average, you might think Americans would feel excited about the future of the stock market. But you’d be wrong, a Bankrate national survey has found.
When we gave people a few choices and asked them to pick the best way to invest money they wouldn’t need for more than 10 years, the most popular answer was real estate. Next were cash investments, such as CDs and savings accounts.
The stock market was a distant third, tied with gold and other precious metals.
These preferences don’t match up with investing strategies that experts say will deliver the best returns over the long term.
