RE investing is definitely a contact sport.

Smart investors make their money when they buy - waiting for appreciation seems to be a bit like gambling.

RichI put lotteries, gambling and stocks in the same category, so in my mind, since equities were recommended, that would include lotteries and gambling.Like I stated before, I hold stocks and mutual funds, but with all the manipulating that occurs in the market (from the govt on down), I treat it the same as I would gambling.That article describes what main stream America buys into - that's a problem....

It always seems like every poster who says investing for appreciation is gambling is willing to bet on depreciation.

J-Town is more desirable than Buechel for several reasons (sports, lack of multifamily, shopping, etc.).

RE is a TEAM sport!

Unless the RICH club has changed since I was a member then clean shorts and a sport shirt are fine!

The industries are water, holographic advertising, sports, health and wellness, biofuel and real estate right now.

(yes, I know my approach to this is more like gambling then investing but I am in the water now.)

, and now you're locked into that corporate job because you'd rather have security instead of gambling on a new venture.
