WASHINGTON — Almost two-thirds of Americans, including a majority of investors, say it's a bad idea to make a substantial investment in the market, says an Associated Press poll taken at a time the market has dropped to its lowest levels in years.
"When the stock market takes a beating," said New York teacher Jane Feldman, "our future takes a beating."
People were asked whether, if they had $1,000 to spend, they thought it would be a good idea to invest it in the stock market. The poll for the AP was conducted Oct. 4-8 by ICR/International Communications Research of Media, Pa.
The poll found that only 29 percent said it was a good idea and 64 percent said it was a bad one. More at: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/134555195_marketpoll15.html --- Sent from UnionMail Service [http://mail.union.org.za]
