Invest in Real Estate or Stocks???

Posted by NANETTE on July 22, 2008, 6:27 am

I have some amount of earnings apart from the ones that I save for my
necessities. I want the earnings invested in some real estate or may be in
stocks. I do have some knowledge on stocks but, earlier my cousin had
invested
in the stocks and had a set-back. I know that you need to be
updated in that but
– What is a better option from the two???

Ask in a group that is investments oriented?

Right now I'd say neither. Wait a year.

If you get tax breakes on pension contributions that's not a bad place.

Real estate is way down right now and there are a lot of good deals to
be had. It will come back up. If you have time to wait it could be a
very good investment.
