Publisher's Synopsis
The economy in recent years has been so volatile that concerns about having an adequate retirement buffer have reached a pinnacle over the past decade. Social Security has lost its luster and does not look anywhere near being healthy enough to be able to provide for retirement in the future. These factors have been driving the rate of the ordinary person transforming into independent investors rapidly. The average person has started to take charge of their own financial futures. These new investors are looking for the magical swirling ship that will take them on a long and happy retirement cruise. The question remains however, "What type of investment will be able to sustain retirement or better still, yield the best returns in the long run?" Some say its gold investment, some say it's the stock market and some even say oil and gas. The truth of the matter is however it is and has always been real estate. Take for example the stock market situation; the stock market is nothing more than a façade for gambling. It is a financial institution where nothing is concrete, solid or tangible. Governments have gone bankrupt due to the volatile nature of the stock market. People tend to speculate on stock prices just as a gambler would speculate what he dice will be rolling next on a roulette table. People have made fortunes from the stock market and this fact is undeniable, but more have lost everything they had due to it as well. The stock market is a coin flip, either you will make or you might end up losing all your savings.

We also talk about our own bad experiences which you can learn a lot from. These bad experiences will avoid losing money as long as you do not repeat them.
