Q. Which is a better investment, the stock market or real estate?

A. "Better" is a relative term. What is better for one person may not be for another.

Investing in the stock market is much more a passive investment than investing in real estate. You buy a stock and then wait to see which direction it goes, up or down. Your potential gain is determined by many factors, most of which you cannot control. If you make the right buying decisions you can make a lot of money, sometimes in a very short period of time. The reverse can also happen.

Delaware People who favor real estate as an investment are usually people who do not have the temperament for the level of anxiety that can be involved in stock investing and wish to put their money into something they can see and feel. Their feelings are "The stock market can go up and down in a matter of hours, but my house will always be there".

One important thing to remember about a real estate investment is that you can exert an influence over the investment. You can improve a house through repairs and additions and, in so doing, increase its market value. This can also be an enjoyable process for those who want "hands-on" involvement.

In addition, you can live in it and make it an integral part of your life. From raising kids to holiday functions, a home becomes a part of life that cannot be duplicated in a stock investment.

The bottom line is that there is no right or wrong answer. Historically you can't go wrong either way. Stocks and real estate have performed well over the years. It's just a matter of what your personal taste is.
