You are very confused, making things up or simply lying. Given this is your first post here since joining a few days ago, should we assume you are Bob Brinker or one of his paid shills trying to confuse others?

To refresh:

I recommended my explore portfolio as an alternative to Brinker's QQQ investment in 2000 to anyone who would listen.

Since October 15, 2000 when Bob Recommended QQQQ to his investors for up to half their cash reserves, my newsletter explore portfolio is up 44.0% while his QQQQ is down 44.7% !!!

You can see why I recommended and continue to recommend my Explore Portfolio over Bob's QQQQ. Last year, QQQQ did better but this year it is already trailing significantly. Only a fool would say I was wrong or I gave bad advice.

REITS are in my core portfolios. Larry made some sort of "if you are so smart about inflation, what did you recommend?" when I said something about gold and inflation here.

I pointed out I recommended REITS as my inflation hedge. My REIT index fund is up more than Gold. I also noticed I ADDED REITS as an asset class to my portfolio about the same time Brinker added QQQQ to his recommended list with his special bulletin.

Keep your facts straight.

Now he trots out REIT performance rather than his "explore" portfolio performance.

Why do you think that is?>>

--LOL! I think we all KNOW why that is!

I would say that the "explore" portfolio is a lot closer to a valid comparison with QQQQs than a REIT fund!!
