People complain about the Fool's marketing overload. That's not the real problem with these guys. The real problem is they have TERRIBLE recommendations. I've lost thousands on stocks recommended by these idiots. These numbers should tell you all you need to know:
APPN? Down $15,800 (I just saw another "buy it" article on the fool today. Great advice.)
LMND? Down $11,900
SKLZ? Down $4,100
Morons. But they ARE good at marketing, and at suckering people for $. Unfortunately, I include myself in that group. Beware.

Thank you for your feedback.
At The Motley Fool, when we recommend a stock in any subscription or strategy, we are doing so with the intention of holding that stock for 3-5 years, minimum. As long-term investors, we recognize that stock prices will fluctuate. That being said, we won’t always recommend a sell just because the stock price drops. We prefer to hold stocks in companies that we are confident in for the long term.
It sounds like you’re beginning to build a diverse portfolio, which is great! We encourage our members to build a diverse portfolio of at least 10-15 stocks that they plan on holding for at least 3-5 years. It’s our belief that this combination is the best way to counteract the whims of the market.
If you have any questions regarding your subscription(s), need assistance navigating our website, or would like to share additional feedback, please reach out to our Member Services department - we're happy to help! You can reach our representatives via the Help tab on Fool.com or by email - Help@Fool.com
