Actually my book, “The Strategy” forecast a dismal long-term future for real estate, which led me to suggest equity be removed and diversified into finacial assets – so long as they were of high quality, managed by a professional and yielding enough income to pay the tax-deductible interest on the loan. That actually turned out quite well. BTW, I never took a dollar in salary or commission from any mutual fund company. Furthermore, my 1995 book, “2015″ forecast a real estate meltdown, which seems to be coming a little sooner than anticipated, but for the same reasons. As for being a former politician, well, what can I say? Better to be in there fighting for something than biting ankles in the aisle. Say, what’s that in your teeth? — Garth
