one thing they fail to mention is the liquidity of stocks versus a home.
I think the article is really saying that stocks are a better investment than real estate... not that real estate isn't a good one. Junk bonds aren't a good investment... there's a pretty big difference.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
