why land is often considered better than stock markets
1. Tangible Asset vs. Paper Asset
- Land is physical, something you can see, use, or develop.
- Stocks are just paper or digital entries, representing ownership in a company—you can’t touch or use them.
2. Lower Risk
- Land doesn’t crash overnight. Even if prices drop, they usually do so gradually.
- Stock markets are volatile. Prices can rise or fall sharply due to news, global events, or company performance.
3. Long-Term Appreciation
- In India, land values almost always go up over time, especially in growing cities.
- Stocks can go up, down, or even become worthless if a company fails.
4. Emotional and Social Value
- Owning land is seen as a status symbol in Indian society.
- Families often prefer investing in property over stocks as it’s seen as more secure and respectable.
5. Income Possibilities
- Land can be used for farming, renting, commercial use, or resale.
- Stocks only give dividends (which are not guaranteed), and that too only if the company performs well.
6. Inflation Hedge
- Land prices usually rise with inflation, protecting your money’s value.
- Stocks may or may not beat inflation, especially during bad economic cycles.
But — Land is Better IF:
- You’re ready to hold long-term.
- You can manage or develop the land (build, lease, farm, etc.).
- You’re investing in the right location.
