In the real estate world, you commonly think of houses, building or any piece of land to use. But when you add investment to its word, it will give you a different definition. Once it generates income and the owner bought multiple pieces of real estate. Most likely, it is for rental purposes one of which will be the primary residence and others will be for rental income. There is also different tax implication (capital gain) when its use for investment, as property value appraises over a period of time.

Obviously there are exceptions. Most investors are not professionals. However, if you know the market like the palm of your hand, go on and keep investing in stocks. Warren Buffett has already passed the age at which http://news.goldgrey.org/category/gold-price/ normal people would be advised to stay away from equities but still remains firm and strong in investing. But Buffett knows what he's doing, he knows how to invest in the stock market.
Here is what I'm advocating. Let's say you have a $50,000 trading account. You never risk over 5% or $2500 on any one trade (and most of the time you risk less than that). Let's assume you have a margin requirement of $200 per contract (if it is much more than that, consider using another broker). You probably never go over 10 contracts on any one trade. So, actually you would only need to have $2000 in your account to make the same trades you normally take.
trading stocks is tricky if not extremely risky. However it can be very rewarding if you know what you are doing and be able to find trouble before it finds you. Some solid tips are to trade during transition times of banks opening and closing, around 3pm eastern to 7pm eastern. This will create a prime spot to trade amongst the US and Asian markets in a sideways trend. Don't expect a lot to happen here but a good chunk of change can be made and it does move up and down, just when it is in a sideways trend it doesn't move all that much, however sometimes it does. So prepare to benefit from that, or exit if need be.
Protect your downside by using a stop-loss. Don't just use a mental one, but make sure that you enter a stop-loss level when you buy the stock. Now you can sleep good at night, knowing that if the stock price drops, you will be protected.
By far and away the most common questions I found (almost a third of them) were concerned with finding the best online stock trading company. This appears to be one of the most common stumbling blocks to getting started trading stocks online.
Last thing that you need to understand is you must invest your own money. Trading can be anybody's game some times you win and some times you lost. Trading with your own money will make you more secure mentally and if you invest rent money in the trade you will have some psychological pressure on your mind.
What is appropriate for investors to do now is develop and cull watch lists for potential leading stocks. There will be another strong bull market ...at some point. And there is no better time to write that trading plan on what you want to accomplish in your trading or investing. It is rare for anyone to have consistent success in the stock market without one.
