From time to time, the South Florida Business Journal will survey its readers on issues that affect Floridians – individuals and businesses.

In a recent Business Pulse Survey, they asked their readers to indicate which assets we should be investing in at this time.

More than 300 readers participated in the survey. Although it was not a scientific poll, it does reflect what their readers are thinking. The results of the survey are as follows:

• 29% of the respondents chose gold and commodities as their asset of choice. This is to be expected considering the historically high value of gold at this time.
• The second most popular asset chosen by 21% of the respondents was real estate. This news is welcomed real estate professionals and property owners throughout the state of Florida.
• 19% of the respondents recommended US stocks as the asset to invest in.

Are Floridians Feeling Financially Stable?

The business journal presented another interesting survey months ago. They asked Floridians to grade their financial security. The results were revealing and possibly disheartening for some. 374 readers participated in the survey.

Most of the respondents (26%) graded their financial security as a C. Disturbingly, 24% of the respondents graded their financial security as an F. Only 11% gave themselves an A, and 18% a B.
