Investors Have Moved From Real Estate to Energy Investments

HomeforsaleLooking at the signs of the financial markets, my barometer is tellingĀ  me we are nearing the end of the housing deflation. Why you ask? Well, as I see it when the mainstream media finally recognizes that a trend is happening, we typically areĀ  nearing the end of that trend.

And now surveys being released and trumpeted by the media are showing that average investors have moved out of real estate and into energy. So that tells me energy has reached its peak and real estate has hit its bottom.

A survey of 1,000 randomly selected investors earlier this month by TD Ameritrade found that 51 percent said they were investing in energy, followed by health care (about 40 percent), consumer goods (about 35 percent), and financial services and telecommunications (about 30 percent each).
And the majority picked energy stocks to be top market performers over the next six months.
Asked about real estate as an investment, 64 percent described current conditions as “a buyer’s market,” suggesting it wasn’t a good place to make money now. Twelve percent said it was “a seller’s market,” and 24 percent described it as “balanced.” via Chron.com
