yes I have land....all kinds of it...in fact that is how I do most of my investing.....this stock thing is just for fun.....I have done great on land but if I had invested all in the market I would have probably done better...but land is safer if you know what you are doing....I like the control factor and if it goes wrong the only one I can blame is me which is the way I like it

There's another side to this "land" story. We bought a beautiful wooded, 6 acre view lot near a small town in the Sierras (not far from Sacramento but a horrible drive there). We bought it at 43,000 8 years ago...intending to build eventually. Decided over the years that Cal. sucks so put it up for sale 3 years ago: Tried for a profit. It finally sold last summer AT A LOSS!!!! Sold for 39,500. But all those years paying taxes (highway robbery to have to pay taxes on raw land but there we are)... and had to use a broker who took 10%. Freeus Perhaps your location was better...where was the land?
