Worthless stocks, time to buy a home?

So you've just lost a whole lot of money, yet again, on the stock market. The market will probably eventually recover, as it has done countless times in the past. What to do if you are afraid to invest in the stock market right now? Buy a house! If your credit is good and you have the money for a down payment, this is a most ideal time to buy a house. Mortgage rates are very low and there are hundreds of wonderful homes on the market...besides which, invest in a house and you can live in it, whereas stock is just paper.
