Retail investors are heavily invested in financial services, technology and energy stocks, but the most popular investment, according to a recent survey, can be a missed opportunity.
The asset the most American retail investors hold onto is cash, according to a survey of 10,000 retail investors released recently by eToro. About 76% of American retail investors hold cash assets, well ahead of the 49% of respondents holding domestically listed stocks and nearly double the 40% of respondents holding domestic bonds.
