Real estate investing and stock market investing

If you have some money to spare which of these two are a better investment- Real estate or Stock market. Many investors face this dilemma.

Many investors that I have talked to advice me against investing in the stock market because of the huge risk involved. The present global economic meltdown does not help the case in any manner.

Most individual investors like me are afraid to put their hard earned money in the stock market. Banks do not offer much return if you park your money there. The rate of interest offered by the banks does not ever beat the rate of inflation. So if you put your money in the bank you are in reality loosing money than gaining interest. But , yes it is safest your money can be in a short period of time.

The real estate in India had a great run in the recent past but now things seem to be cooling down a bit. Prices are stabilizing or falling. It would be a good idea to invest in real estate in the present scenario. Investing in real estate related mutual funds can be even a better bet as your money will be managed by professionals and you do not have to worry about the mundane paper work and day to day care of the property.

Read the detailed article about the difference and rationale of investing in real estate Vs investing in stock market in the following article link.
