Stocks or Real Estate-Best path to prosperity?

Quote from Locutus:

So if I post a thread the world is going to end tomorrow you would go long? Contrarianism is very overrated, especially in the short term.

it depends on your track record.

Reminds me of someone

"you remind me of someone" you remind me of a mod who got kicked out of his position.

it took your last sentence to make the connection.

I question your capacity to provide anything other than to make trouble.

start with personalizing you will be gone a 2nd time.

first line should have read. "reminds me of someone"
 
Quote from riskaddict:

Owning rental property seems like the most obvious move for the next decade. Even if prices drop 20% in the short run the revenue it spins off over the long run will more than offset the falling prices assuming nothing goes majorly wrong with the house.

I never really understood why home prices go up anyway. How are they different from cars especially houses built after 1995. You pretty much have to replace everything after 15 years which in essence chews up much of whatever equity you had in in the 1st place. Why wouldn't everyone want to rent?

If you are interested in buying a minority stake in a semi private golf course in MD pm me lol!
=============
Well,Risk-add;
Cars & mobile homes tend to DEpreciate;
houses tend to appreciate, long term-but for sure better than rent reciepts:D

Hey , even a lady that got her home forclosed on in CA;
still got nice cash bonus simply to move her out in a timely manner-its that long term uptrend i mentioned , Not a prediction.

Also try buying solid furnature;
not 15 year saw dust wood.Dont know who builds the 15 year expiration homes/interiors?????:cool: Get just 1 bad landlord; then look for a good REALTOR.LOL

As far as understanding why some things appreciate;
i prefer to simply enjoy those trends:cool:Stocks are cheaper education on trends, no substuitute for buying/selling to learn trends

No chief, you haven't understood contrarianism (a very misunderstood and therefore overrated concept) one bit.

To understand contrarianism you've gotta go deep into Confucius and Lucius' territory.

You, despite being a good friend of Loquacious, are just one individual. I don't give a flying fck what YOU do or don't do. :) :)


But there are millions and billions of your brothers and sisters, all with the same 4-cylinder engine that operate only on (1) emotion and the warm cuddly feeling of operating TOGETHER and (2) extrapolating an extant move to infinity.

Its what YOU do as such a group that interests me MASSIVELY and even then contrarians can err, so a final touch, a so to speak finesse level of observation must be added ...... and that is ...

crescendo = when your emotional level gets outta control THE TURN IS NIGH.

If you really do have the goal to be a wealthy investor then currently your HAVINGNESS status is that of a BUM, wherein you can't even get paid for your time.


I love you too
 
Deadbroke, I would also like to point out, that this thread isn't about me. I simply asked if "one" would like to achieve this, then what is the best path in your opinion?

read the first post carefully. "one" not "me" or "I"

I could work part time at Mikkey D's for all you know :)

It is about you, Z, because you wafted off the classic HERD clue in your second sentence when you switched from "one" to "you"

But it really does not matter because your goal is a lofty and commendable one and believe it or not, I more than anyone here would love to see you be sucessful and achieve it - but you're new here at ET and one thing I learned about ET very rapidly when I came here IN GOOD FAITH in October 2009, silent as a lamb and deferring to every so-called ELITE trader, that this is a snakepit of cocksuckers and ONE cannot learn a fckin thing about trading here - I would have left but my Higher Consciousness, in his magnificent wisdom showed me there is value even in the toilet.

And what is that value?

HERD mechanics complements PRICE in the same way Fluid Mechanics complements Aerodynamics - in the latter, which is my primary degree, one sees the lowly Mechanical Engineering support and offer slingshot value to FLYING.

That's why I stick around and revel in the hatred that is leveled at me. :) :D :D :D :D :D

Deadbroke,

I'm 50, have no retirement and work at Mcdonalds, so its not about me.



Stock market , real estate, or both and why?

You can't just say cash because cash gets inflated to worthlessness over time.




P.S. I have been a lurker here for years . There is value here, rare , but it's here. Also, value is in the eye of the beholder. Majority is clutter, I agree with you on that.

Thanks for that, Z.

I'll explain to you why I believe it is CASH. You will most likely disagree with me as I expect everyone here would, but here goes anyway .....


In a bullmarket as the one we had for the last 70 years, CREDIT and expansion were KINGS and CASH was despised as a reprobate. Proof was the fact that the American Savings Rate was at 0% for decades. So remember, Credit was loose, lenders trusted and had confidence in the ability of borrowers to repay.

This has now reversed.

The American Savings Rate has shot up to past 7% like a rocket screeching fuckit.

Contraction now is the modus operandi of the American consumer - this alone is the harbinger of DEFLATION.

In a DEFLATION one gets rid of everything of value and then unbolts whatever is bolted to the floor and gets rid of it too - TO RAISE CASH.

When this concept dawns on ET, I will come back here to remind you of this - if I am expelled, kindly give me permission to make just one post .....:) :D
