Well, there you go again assuming that your way is gotta be the best way.

Just because you're lousy at picking investments, doesn't mean everyone is. Sticking all your eggs in the "farming basket" is just as risky as outside investments. There will be things happen in both cases that are beyond your control and things that you CAN control. The successful people are the ones who figure out how to manage that risk - in both cases. Smart investors can make money on market rises as well as drops. That's not the case in farming - unless you short commodities - but then you are playing the other guys' game.

I'm willing to bet that someone who really knows what they are doing can come out better in investments than in farming. There are thousands of different options to invest in, but most farms are rather limited in the number of enterprises they can support.
