oh I dont know....it just fits in with my view... it was citibank...which is not a big 4 here... but they offer housing loans, investment loans for stocks, deposits etc...so their interest lies in most popular investments...they stand to gain either way... if it was a property group that did the poll...we would say they are biased... I guess that leaves only stock brokers to conduct a poll..and I doubt they would publish it, if it had the same result... I just hold the view that generally, property is less volatile for long term investments... so bored these days, watched CA last evening...that woman who said it was easy to make a million dollars,,they did not say how she did it... but she had an excel worksheet, that had property income and expenses listed...so assume she made her money in property... I think she was 50....one becomes more conservative after 40, so different horses for different courses...
