    Causes of global economic recession

    Real estate - still a better option?

    Real estate continues to remain the better option as in worst scenario, its value never touches zero, and in the best scenario, of course, there is a lot of capital appreciation. It cannot be robbed, like gold can, nor does it involve costly security measures for protecting the asset. Though...
