TREMORS
Where People are Investing and Why
|
|
 |
Stock
Markets: Four months of volatility in the markets has diluted
small investors' interest, but mutual funds still attract the middle
class.
|
|
Bank
Deposits: After a year of slow growth, deposits are back
in favour for households. But with interest rates being low, the
trend could change.
|
 |
Property:
Stagnant land prices and large inventory of unsold houses keep individual
investors away. Prospects unlikely to brighten in the near future.
|
 |
Gold:
Lost lustre as an investment option for households after
the stock market boom of the early 1990s. Remains out of favour
ever since.
