This is not uniformly true- during some crises, some real estate investors are forced to sell, and that will generally hurt their returns, but the proportion of panicked sellers is likely larger in the stock market than in the real estate market during panics.So it seems to me that the stock market brings out the worst in us(by "us," I mean the average "us," not you whizzes out there who are beating the market, so pipe down in the peanut gallery) and real estate brings out the best in us- the less liquid nature of real estate, verse stocks, might be one of real estate's greatest assets to the average investor.Then there's the question of measurement itself.
