China Confidential's recent survey on investor sentiment reveals clear optimism for 2010, with middle class investors planning to continue investments in stock and property markets.

In spite of uncertainties surrounding the direction of policy in 2010 following a year of record loan growth and surging stock and property markets, China's middle class is optimistic about the economic climate, is confident that incomes will rise and thinks that personal investments are a good idea. China's upper income groups, in particular, are still looking to buy property to grow wealth. These are some of many key findings from China Confidential's recent survey of investor sentiment among middle and upper income households.
