Real Estate or Stocks - GoFuckYourself.com

I think it is time to get back into the stock market, the real estate market did really well, and I believe its going to start to drop, so maybe its time to start buying all of these stocks that are at great prices right now, What do you guys think?

Stock market is great if you have 4 hours a day to waste and wake up at 6am everyday to make sure your stocks are okay.

Stocks for sure

And when everyone starts running away from RE in a few months to a year, start buying that again. Do the opposite of the herd.

always money to be made

yes, but you have to be very careful, I got caught up in the crash a few years ago, and it cost me a lot...

Now, I am going to play it safe, just buy some shares and forget about them, and hopefully in a few years, they will double, or triple...

Like the guy above said, the stock market requires a lot of hands on time.
There's a lot of automated processes these days, but it still requires your full attention few hours a day.

Personally, I'd only invest in the market again if I had money to LOOSE. It's a game where you usually loose first and gain last.

Stocks are always good.

Then again so is real estate ... as long as you are willing to consider foreign markets as well as domestic.

Invest in China. If close to 10% annual growth gets you excited then get on it

Better yet, purchase properties with countries on the brink of entering the EU, and see your investment double or more.

Yep. Croatia is nice. Lots of tourist-oriented properties.

RE is alot more stable then stocks.

BucksMania · 10-23-2005, 06:00 AM

for the people interested in real estate, Bulgaria is a good option too, it's about to get in the EU in year or two, + there are nice beaches and mountains => tourist interest

Stocks are too much work? You must not own any real estate. The only downside to stocks right now is they are interest sensitive so if rates go up they will not be going anywhere. Where as if we get inflation owning some extra real estate is going to be really cool.

China has a pretty wild real estate market too -- or at least it did. It looks like Shanghai is slowing down:

You cannot compare the two. Real estate is based on "other people's money" so the return is insane, but you got to know your stuff. Stocks only give a return of like 10%/year.

So go real estate ;-)
