A Seeking Alpha article argues that the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) underperforms broader equity markets, making it unsuitable for income investors. Published on March 17, 2026, the analysis reports VNQ's 354% total return since 2004, lagging RSP's 458% before dividends. It assigns a Strong Sell rating to VNQ.

An analysis published on Seeking Alpha rates the Roundhill Innovation 100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (QDTE) as a strong sell. The fund's high expense ratio and capped upside potential are cited as reasons it underperforms compared to the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) in bullish tech markets. Investors focused on tech growth are advised to choose low-cost alternatives with uncapped exposure to the Nasdaq 100.
