just to be clear about my opinion, I am talking about long term investing, not day trading. i think day trading is a losing game, except for the 1% who "know more than the market." if you want to discuss which is a better investment, i think it is clear that real estate is (if it is your thing). however, real estate requires your time which my preffered method of stock market investing takes very little time. dollar cost averaging is truely passive investing. if you want to talk truely passive real estate investing where you spend an hour a month looking over statements and you are not hands on in any way, i dont think you will do much better if any than the stock market......over the long term. what the recent stock market crash has reminded people is that it is a volatile market and some people are not comfortable with that. i think real estate is not as volatile.to the question of whether or not people will jump from stocks to real estate. because of how the stock market has acted lateley, i think yes. big hedge funds have proven that. i am just saying...give it 10 years and possibly a few good runs by the stock market and people will be "following the herd."

Probably the least productive activity is having to weed out the pretenders from the real players.I typically do this with having anyone I work with show bank statements and to verify that when they say they have 400,000, 1 million, or whatever to work with that they actually do in fact have that.You would not believe the number of people out there that pretend to be working with capital or overpromise themselves.

A word of advice, watch your closing statement and loan documents to make sure that after choosing one of these options the lender does not still try to get you to pay PMI.
