I had a previous question about what the odds were for a guy who has farming experience but has been in an office for the last 20 years making a go of farming.

That being said, one of the driving questions at this point was what would be the better investment going forward for my family, keeping all of my IRA's and financial investments such as 401k's in place where they are or cashing them in and buying land when the price eases up a bit. I realize that both have their advantages and disadvantages but Id like to hear some opinions from the group.

I have heard a lot of people say that Trump will have a good effect on the stock market and it will continue its run from the 08 disaster. On the other hand, I have heard people say that land is the best investment (obviously depending on when you buy it). I partially agree with this but I given the last 20 years, there has been volatility with both and I would have to say that buying land right now seems to be more risky that investing in financials, at least for the foreseeable future. I'm not saying one is better than the other, I just know where I am at and how Ive gotten here and if a gearshift could be in my family's future into a different type of asset.

Any advice/opinions or fishing tips?

Thanks.
