Investors Optimistic, Sticking to Investments, Survey Says

Despite the fact that one out of every three investors experienced a 10% drop in the value of their fund last year and one out of six experienced a 20% loss or more, most investors appear to be sticking to their investments, according to a recent survey.

Only 15% of the 500 investors polled for the survey indicated that they have moved or plan to move their assets into bonds and just 14% said they have taken or will take a position in cash. Moreover, 21% said they plan to buy more stock and stock mutual funds.
