Apple and orange as discussed before. One is a leverage, the other one is speculative / pure gambling for profit.
You want real profit as in dividend, get into 30-50 rental units as starter... The dividend is in the $200k a year. For the same amount of investment, I would never see that kind number in stock. And we aren't even talking about the speculative part itself which is Capital/stock gain and loss.
Stock is the biggest loser in my book. 30% tax, highly unstable, elementary for those who wants to start to 'invest,' highest fee (401k, Ira etc) and worst the so called experts in stock make the same mistake every decade or so.
