Cnn published an description comparing the stock shop to real estate. It was de facto part of series of articles.

The Cnn description suggested that from 1978 to 2004, the yearly average return of of the S&P 500 was 13.4%.

During that same period, they suggested a "solid but unimpressive annualized return of 8.6%" for residential real estate based upon sort of a national average for appreciation in home values while that period.

The description therefore accomplished that in the long run, the stock shop de facto "crushes" real estate.

Let's take a rigorous look at the real world exterior of what Wall street thinks consumers of it's investment products (i.e., there is one born every minute) should believe.

The description also points to a study by Robert Shiller that suggests the "real" return of real estate is de facto somewhere close to 3%, barely great than the rate of inflation.

The problem? The article's conclusions are totally bogus for the following reasons:

1) These two types of investments are so separate that drawing a direct comparison is absurd. In a typical stock shop investment, you buy x amount of shares at $y. You hold them for z days, in which the price per share goes up or down. At some point, you rule to sell.

One huge incompatibility is that most buy and hold asset investors leverage their money when they buy. They ordinarily don't pay cash and never put financing on the property. At this point, the two investments are roughly beyond comparison.

The other big incompatibility is that real estate creates income whereas stocks don't (unless they pay a dividend). The two investments diverge even further.

An individual who owns multiple investment properties has business.

Isn't it a whole lot easier to draw a comparison in the middle of a buy and hold real estate firm and, for example, a service business.

Perhaps the biggest incompatibility is that real estate has an intrinsic value apart from the business. On the other hand, service businesses have much of their value in the intangible asset of its book of business.

In my opinion, a stock shop investment is more comparable to, art, costly metals, gems, or collectibles purchased with the expectation that they will growth in value.

2) The S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. Home Price index on which the "unimpressive" rate of return for real estate was calculated (8.6%) is based upon home prices. What about the cash flow and tax benefits from investment properties? You don't get these from stocks. They are wholly overlooked by this gross oversimplification. Because residential real estate creates passive income where stock do not, the determination presented in this description is not valid.
