> A single peice of land may or may not appreciate. but a diversified portfoilio of land will always appreciate if the last 10,000 years has anything to say about it.

I believe there are large parts of Europe that would take centuries if not a millennium to reach the peak value it had during the Roman Empire (measured vs gold).

In general I agree, though. A portfolio is fine.

Most people tend to have most of their "savings" in a single property though.

As an example, what do you think this $2500 property cost when it was new? (Edit: make that 1965, since it's quite old.)
