We've talked about investing in the S&P 500 on this channel since it's proven to have the best track record over decades in terms of returns. On the other hand, there is still the lure of the Holy Grail of investing: REAL ESTATE! Real Estate is often touted as the sure ticket to fortunes.

Is the S&P 500 a better investment? Or is it real estate, my BGC unit? While I know you may have your biases and preference as to which is the better investment, you'd be surprised to know that the results are actually quite comparable... I myself am shocked that these results are so near one another!
