What is the Smartest Investment?

If you ask the average American what he or she thinks is the very best long-term investment, he or she is likely to say real estate, according to a recent study by Gallup.com. The site recently released a comprehensive article that explained how Americans, who once thought gold and stocks were the smartest investments, now believe real estate to be the wisest choice. In fact, low-income individuals are now more likely to believe gold is a smart investment than any other group.

So, whose right in all of this? Really, no one. It’s never smart to put all your future hopes and dreams into

only one type of investment. If you’re really going to have the future you want, you need to be utilizing a wide range of investment types. That way, if one investment strategy fails, then another can make up for that failure.
