Most people shouldn’t be investing AT ALL, or if they it should be in the most solid companies possible like Wal-Mart. People need to invest as if they own the business and the whole business at that. If you don’t understand how to read cash flow statement, balance sheets, income statements, and you don’t understand how much cash the company has and where they are investing it and how well they are investing it with ratios like return on equity, return on invested capital, debt to equity ratio, quick ratio etc. etc. then you should NOT BE INVESTING VERY MUCH IT IS FOOLISH. IF you can’t read a cash flow statement then please do not invest until you study.
Peace and good luck investing in the stock market

I think it’s pretty clear the commercial real estate market has further to decline and the stock market is presenting an opportunity only seen every 100 years, choice is pretty easy.

I believe in real estate investing, but you cannot over look the power of the stock market and compound interest.

The richest man in the world is a stock market man after all.

I’ve found few sellers of multifamily buildings silly enough to sell quality assets into this weak market. Anyone with a property that cash-flows is holding onto it like it’s gold (because it is). Stablized property is priced high (not attractive)when it’s listed at all.

I absolutely agree with you when it’s about commercial real estate, although long term and stands and falls with location and the right management. So, you need a little more knowledge and need to be more selective compared to stocks, but it pays off big time for sure.

Bottom line in regards to Real Estate investing versus any other investing is that Real Estate has made more millionaires than anything else.
Real Estate will always go up, when done right you can cashflow every month and huge tax benifits!

This is a very good analysis. I completely agree with investing in commercial real estate. Real estate always seems to be more stable than stocks.

Even in the current situation with the real estate industry it is still more stable than the stock market.
