However, I'd like to dispute one of the things you put as a con for Stock Markets. I don't believe the "tangibility" thing is really an issue for any type of investor. Sure, it's nice to say that the four-family unit over there is yours, but it's equally as nice to say that you own 10,000 shares of TSM that aren't being affected by the downturn in US Markets! In the end, as an investor, it's really just what brings you the greatest return for an amount of risk and worry you can tolerate. Is it not? I liked your analysis - it was clear and concise!

The housing downturn is negatively impacting property sales in second home communities in Florida. This is also slowing sales in NC mountain resorts that depend on Florida buyers. Still the downturn in prices and building of inventories is starting to attract second home buyers from Florida looking for cool temperatures in our mountains. Also the dramatic decline in the dollar combined with weakness in American real estate markets are beginning to interest some bargain hunting European investors.
