Where I live (Adelaide) property has been quite good, the house I'm building has already appreciated in value before I settle later this month.
Sold my last home for a tidy profit too.
But I like to diversify my investments personally, whilst I don't hold gold, I have exposure to equities i.e. individual stocks (across industries) and some ETF's like VAS etc. I can't live in those like what some unlicensed financial advisor seems to think qualifies as the only criteria a person should look for in an investment choice, which is crap.
The whole moronic arguments of it having to be one or the other is plain stupidity! In the real world outside of a keyboard warrior fantasy, many people diversify their investments.
