buying a house or several is one of the safest investments you can make. I have a bunch of money in a Vanguard mutual fund that isn't giving me nearly the return as the appreciation on the house, and like butthole says, if you can make the mortgage you can ride out any storm until the value returns.
lose your ass in the stock market and it's just gone, it ain't coming back.
