Re-posting your numbers doesn't change the facts Kirk. Of course your explore portfolio lost money in 2007 and in fact lost money in THREE OF THE PAST FIVE YEARS. And I see you're up to your old tricks again Kirk. Combining two years to bury results. You show combined numbers for 2007 and 2008 and then a combined total. That way you neatly avoid disclosing that your explore portfolio suffered double digit losses in 2007 while the market was UP! You just can't easily bring your self to admit that your explore portfolio has been DOWN in three of the past five years, including two years when the MARKET WAS UP! BTW, the figures you posted are different than those you show on your newsletter advertising...which, if either, are correct?

kirk said to gronieel: <<You are LYING when you say I lost money in 2007...>> --Kirk, he's not lying, and you know it! He's talking about your "explore" portfolio, which lost over 10% in 2007. When your "explore" does well, you talk about your "explore" results. When your "explore" does poorly, you switch to talking about your "core plus explore" results. That's similar to what brinker does to mask his performance. People who buy your newsletter are paying for your "explore" portfolio. That is what you should be judged on. Period.
