More than one in three Americans (36%) believe that real estate is the strongest long-term investment in the country, with the sector staying at the top of such assessment for the eleventh year in a row, according to a new Gallup survey.
Stocks and bonds followed in the list, jumping to the second spot with 22% of respondents and overtaking gold (18%). The top long-term investment in 2011 and 2012, gold has been decreasing in people's consideration as its price stagnated and other coverage alternatives arose during turbulent times.
