Americans today are more likely to think real estate is the best option for long-term investments than in the past, ranking it ahead of gold and stocks.
These results are from Gallup’s April 3-6 Economy and Personal Finances poll that asked Americans to choose the best option for long-term investments: real estate, stocks and mutual funds, gold, savings accounts and CDs, or bonds. Prior to 2011, Gallup asked the same question, but did not include gold as an option.
