Gold has quadrupled in the last six years. Google has gone from $85 per share to over $700 in less time. There are over 20 mutual funds that have returned 500%+ for the last five years, including one that is up over 1,000%. You still think Real estate is the best investment? I don't.

Yes I do. If you buy a house, its not a great investment but if you buy apartment complexes or multi-units, they are much better investments than any stock or mutual fund because it gives me cash flow. Mutual funds don't give me cash flow and stocks don't either unless you get dividends. But even then you have to tie up ALOT of cash to make money on dividends and even then they aren't guaranteed. Single family homes are not good investments but you have to live somewhere.

Politicians use the mobocracy system in housing by charging taxes every year on the property you have already paid the day you cant pay you lose your house, like a mafia movie By increasing taxes every year there would come a time
where you cant pay that high. The result is inevitable mass homelessness for the middle class and rising rents for the poor while wages stay low. SO you can thank god for a housing crash.
