了解投资,特别是股市投资的,许多人都知道一本畅销书,a random walk down wall street, 作者是princeton大学教授, burton malkiel. 这类学者一般不评论近期的投资问题,怕讲错了坏了他们一世英名。 lol
不过,他最近写文, 讲2012 年股市一定好于债市,一些发展中国家市场好于发达市场。今后十年房市是最好的投资之一。

Real estate is a particularly attractive asset class. Investors who are currently renting the place in which they live should strongly consider buying.
Real-estate prices have fallen sharply, if not to their absolute lows, then certainly very near to them. Long-term mortgages are below 4% for those who can qualify. Housing affordability (a measure based on house prices and mortgage rates) has never been more attractive. Moreover, under present tax laws there are advantages to owning since mortgage interest is deductible and rent is not.
Too many people invest with a rearview mirror. Housing has been a dreadful investment since the housing bubble burst in 2007. I believe it will be one of the best investments over the next decade.
