=============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!

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.

Quote from Zr1Trader:
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![]()

Quote from deadbroke:
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.![]()

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 .....![]()
