Data Shows Investors Loading Up on Stocks

Investors are loading up on stocks vs. other asset classes, according to the latest results of the InvestorPlace Portfolio Pulse survey.

A poll of readers on InvestorPlace.com shows that stock ownership is at its highest level since the inception of our survey back in August. After the share of stocks in typical portfolios dipped during mid-October volatility, investors are once again loading up on stocks.

Gold remains battered, as commodity prices continue to suffer, and remains a very small portion of the typical portfolio.
