Not only is real estate a bright spot it should be a part of everyone's IRA and 401K account because of the following*:
1). Nobody can inside trade your property*
2). No one can fake the balance sheet*
3). No one can fake the vacancy on your commercial strip center*.

*Takes into consideration that you take an active role in your "own" investments and don't hand them over to someone who just wants to suck off you (like a management company).
