Yes, I agree with you! (don't faint) This simply means it's a much better time to buy equities than real estate, although I still not scared to death of R.E. if I were to find the right deal. I sure wouldn't invest in any Volvo's, however!!! (grin)

It was intended as more of a comparison than a recommendation. The (local) 27%+ increase in price is good for the real estate I already own but it doesn't help me any to purchase more right now.

The article you posted today was timely, it made me decide where I'm putting some extra cash.

I will say this, everyone I know who has made it well, has made it with real estate.

BTW, the Volvo wasn't a bad investment if you can call not losing as much value as other vehicles an "investment"..and It's a hell of an SUV too.
