ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--E*TRADE Financial Holdings, LLC today announced results from the most recent wave of StreetWise, the E*TRADE quarterly tracking study of experienced investors. Results indicate an increasingly bullish investor mindset despite volatility and recession concerns:<\/p>\n
Investors see that unprecedented fiscal stimulus, the Feds easy monetary policy, the vaccine rollout, and relatively healthy earnings are all positives for the market, said Mike Loewengart, Managing Director of Investment Strategy at E*TRADE Financial. Yet at the same time there is awareness that some, if not all, of these factors may already be priced in, and market corrections are a matter of when, not if. Kicking off the new year, its a good practice to reassess financial goals and take a pulse check on your comfort level with risk.<\/p>\n
The survey explored investor views on sector opportunities for the first quarter of 2021:<\/p>\n
