- Sounds like the stock market and many other things -- risky
- investments give high (average) returns, but you have to be willing to
- hang on for several cycles of the market for the risk to average out.
- (E.g., my retirement funds are in high-beta stock funds.) The stock
- market cycles seem to be 5 years or so, but the real-estate cycles are
- 20 years or more...
