Which is the long term Investment bet? Deposits,Gold, Stocks or Real estate?


Which is the long term Investment bet? Deposits,Gold, Stocks or Real estate?
During the 20th century, investments in the real estate showed steady returns. Sometimes the price rise is fast and sometimes it is slow. But the rate of return is some what better than the Fixed deposits and also above Gold. But is somewhat riskier than fixed deposits.
Likewise, Investments in the Gold also showed good returns and at times it is stagnant. It sometimes performed better than fixed deposits and at times it is under performed when compared to fixed deposits. But is riskier than fixed deposits.
Investments in the Stocks is the riskiest of these investments. But the returns were phenomenal during the Bull Market and it showed negative growth in bear markets. But on Average, it performed better than other investment avenues. But the risk factor is much more in Stocks.
My investment plan would be to invest 30% in Stocks, 30% in Real estate, 20% in deposits and 20% in Gold. Any investment plan should take into consideration atleast 5 years time frame. And the best way to invest is to invest at bear markets.

Sectors for the Next Bull Markets
World over each Bull Market will be lead by any particular sector or any particular set of Sectors of the Industry. The 1990s rally was lead by Old Economy Sectors like Cement, Steel, and Automobiles. The next Bear Market was also lead by the same sectors.
The 2000 rally was supported by ICE sectors. ‘ICE’ shortly denotes Information, Communication, and Enterntainment Sector. The Stock prices of Companies like Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Adobe, Sun, IBM went to dizzy heights. In India, Infosys, Satyam, Wipro, Hcl Tech are the companies saw a massive bull run.
Zee tv, Himachl Futuristics, Global Tele systems were the stocks from Media and Telecom Sector that are in bull Run.
Globally, Telec om Multinational Companies like AT&T saw bull run in all European Stock Exchanges.
Like wise in the previous Bear Market, the same sectors which lead the bull rally, lead the next Bear Market.


The Bull Rally that started in 2003 Globally, is supported by Power, Infra, and Reality Sectors. Globally, the companies in this sector was in demand in all Stock Exchanges.  Like wise, the bear market in 2008 was also lead by these sectors.
So, which sector is going to lead the next bull rally. Technical studies reveal Pharma, FMCG, Financials will lead the next rally Globally in all Stock Markets.
