I've enjoyed learning more about stocks and businesses through the experience of Tom and David. I have purchased a couple of their recommendations that are doing well. But I would like to see some stocks that can be bought in at a lower price than the recommendations I've seen thus far. I'm not investing a lot, but steadily. Looking forward to the next year. But not interested in continuous up-selling.
I trust motley fool information. So many big companies are not trust worthy. I feel like motley fool does more research than most company's and it pays off.

I've been a Motely Fool customer since 2008 and believe Stock Advisor was my very first subscription. One of the stocks I hold was recommended and purchased in 2012. It has increased 2,204.83%! Of course, I picked some stinkers along the way. Looking back those poor choices resulted in not following their advice. I'm a fool for life.

I have never visited the website. I don't have much money. But I really enjoy the emails that are sent to me, and I have bought a few shares of stock based on your email recommendations, and they are doing well so far, which I truly appreciate. I believe there will be a day when I might inherit a large amount of money, but I think it's necessary to learn what to do before it happens. I have an account with Ameritrade, and when you guys make a recommendation, I look them up and decide if I can afford them. I wish I had pots of money sitting around, because I could have made a lot more money with The Motley Fool's recommendations. For now, I'll learn and watch my little dollars grow. Thanks for your help.

I very much like the idea to invest in a lot of stocks. On the long term 5-10 good stocks will easily erase the negative side of 50-60 bad stocks.

I just subscribed a couple of weeks ago so I haven't had enough time to comment on their stock picks.
I am disappointed that my yearly membership fee only covers a small portion of their stock recommendations. To gain access to "everything" members need to pay large fees in addition to the yearly subscription. I receive up-selling emails daily from Motley Fool that contain headlines that seem beneath the professional standard I expected. "Did you see our last email?" "I hope you read this before the market opens tomorrow!" "In case you missed it." "Don't miss out". Again, daily up-selling emails and very little in the way of actual stock analysis. Finally, I'm getting tired of reading, almost daily, about how they picked Amazon and Netflix when their stock prices were lower... Ancient history. I hope they come up with new content and add more stock recommendations for their "basic" members.
Thank you for your feedback.
We're sorry that your experience with our marketing has been a frustrating one. There is no singular investing strategy which fits the needs, preferences, and a reasonable fee ratio of all investors. Our many services are not upgrades of each other – they simply following different strategies and have different resulting risk profiles.
Since publishers like The Motley Fool are prohibited from personalized recommendations, we offer all of our various services to all members who have subscribed to receive promotions in the hope of finding a better fit for some. The fact that we offer other strategies to allow for different interests and investment styles does not diminish the quality of your service and its affiliated information.
At the bottom of every marketing email, there is a link to unsubscribe. Additionally, you can log into Fool.com, click on "My Fool" in the upper right-hand corner, and then click on "Email Settings." This will allow you to adjust your email settings to your preferences. It sounds like you also have the "reminder" emails turned on, and those can easily be disabled.

Pretty good stock picker for amateurs. Nothing special or technical.
Investors Business Daily or Zack's probably gives better picks.

All but 3 of my 51 stocks are Motley Fool picks. And most are "up", in spite of the Corona virus "sell-off".
Doing better than my Fisher account.

Motley Fool gives no guidence
Buy a stock and hold 3-5 Years?
Just go ahead, and buy a etf / mutual fund. They have recommended two really bad stocks. A pot business, and coffee business. Notifications are long and boring. Over and over the wonderfulness of MF.
Useless. Their quoted returns are impossible. Skewed a certain time. Did not renew subscription.
Think MF stands for something other than Motley Fool.
Thank you for your feedback.
As long-term investors, we recognize that when we make a stock recommendation with a time horizon of three to five years, stock prices will fluctuate. However, 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, because because good businesses tend to remain good businesses, or as David Gardner says, “Winners keep winning.” We realize, however, that significant price changes are worrisome to our members. Because of this, we try to post additional articles and research on stocks that have seen a downturn. For any recommended stock that changes in price by 10% in a single day, our analysts will write special reports as to why this occurred, and we refer to these as the “10% Promise.”
We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with our promotional emails. At the bottom of every marketing email, there is a link to unsubscribe. Additionally, you can log into Fool.com, click on "My Fool" in the upper right-hand corner, and then click on "Email Settings." This will allow you to adjust your email settings to your preferences.
Respectfully, within our services we clearly show the performance of all of our recommendations - whether it was a winner or not. It sounds like you previously had a subscription to Stock Advisor - that service has far more than 2 stock recommendations, and you only list two 'losers.' It's also had some exceptional 'winners.'

Since joining, I've had some hits and misses on some recommendations, but over all I managed to be ahead.
However, some of the up-sells were very annoying. The videos were mostly irritating designed to sell you more products or stocks that may or may not work. In the end, it's up to the individual investor to sort through the information being fed to you. Still, The Motley Fool is worth it, So, Fool on!

The Motley Fool has been a great help for guiding me in investing into equities. Being an engineer, my knowledge regarding investing in shares was not existing. At retirement, I needed help in investing my money. Thanks to Motley Fool, I managed to do good investments in shares.
My only complaint is that they are not equally pront to advise me when is time to sell. Once, I had to decide myself to sell some shares to contain the loss. Anyway, the beauty in this organisation is that they explain clearly what are the pros and cons for each share without the jargon usually used by other advisers.
Well done guys, carry on with the good work that you are doing.
Thank you for the positive 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.

For years, I had a big-name broker whose recommendations, in the end, lost a lot of money for me. I then tried to play the market by myself, until I realized (after losing lots of money) that I did not have the time, or the ability, to do proper research. I became wiser, though still poorer, when I took a chance with the Motley Fool. The name had turned me off for a long time, but its record of giving winning advice convinced me. Twelve years later, I rest easy knowing they my wife and children are secure through their old age (provided Trump does not get us into WW III.)

We're sorry to hear you were turned off by our name at first - on our "About Us" page we explain why it was chosen. "Our name is in homage to the one character in Shakespearean literature — the court jester — who could speak the truth to the king and queen without having his or her head lopped off. The Fools of yore entertained the court with humor that instructed as it amused. More importantly, the Fool was never afraid to question conventional wisdom."

I bought their service, first stock I noticed was an otc stock call CHAR. WEB bought over 500 shares, go for one of their morning online chat show a and first thing I see is this company is in huge trouble WOW strike one, then watch a presentation called for a stock I though he said was ceam could not find it anywhere strike two. On the up side I bought other recommendations and they put me ahead so far, I buy a little at a time as I don't know much about the market and don't have a lot to invest, realize this they are selling their knowledge for the research they have done and nobody bats a thousand on the other hand if they were auto mech. Would they work on your car for free, it's business. Just my two cents worth.
