Spectrem Investment Preferences finds the affluent returning to investing, after a month of disengagement, brought on by the dramatic global stock market correction begun in late February 2007. Not Investing has fallen, while all other categories (except for Real Estate) have risen, indicating a return of investment optimism, as investors chase the soaring returns of the stock markets.
    
The strongest performer this month is perennial favorite Stocks, with Cash Investing following closely behind, an indication that the affluent are returning to investing, but holding on to more liquid investments as they prepare for their next move. Real Estate, once again, runs counter to other investment intentions, falling slightly as the others rise.
