The stock market has historically had very rapid dips and crashes without ample warning. Stocks can become completely worthless in as little as one day. You personally cannot do anything to influence the value or force the appreciation of your stocks. When you no longer wish to own stocks you must sell them, thereby ending any further appreciation or income that you can generate from them. Stocks can move down violently on news that doesn’t even pertain to that particular company. War and terrorism are now a part of life and can dramatically effect the stock market. The stock market is truly an inside game, controlled by insiders with inside information.
Real Estate does not crash or move rapidly without warning. Real Estate can cycle, and there is always warning allowing you to adjust your portoflio.

Real Estate does not move violently based upon news or speculation that does not pertain to that particular property.

Compare this to the return you received on your stock and bond investments over the same period. What would your retirement savings be now if you had that money invested in real estate as opposed to the stock market? Wouldn’t it be nice to have more control over your investing
