I agree with you to the extent that some investors will have more faith in real estate because commodities are such a unique type of investment. I believe there is much more upside to silver and gold in the short term than buying real estate.
There are plenty of properties that are currently cash flowing with this huge real estate correction, which will give many investors a feeling of stability. I think real estate is great for the conservative long term investor, but if you are like me, I want to capitalize on the now and I truly believe that we are going to see a huge upside in commodities, especially silver!!!
