I don't have a large investment account so I go with stock advisor rather than multiple subscriptions. If you hang in there with what you buy and don't try to beat the market when it drops, over time you can get back alot more than you put in on your winners I have had many more winners since I use Motley Fool recommendations to research rather than trying to find stocks on my own.
Whether you use Stock Advisor or any of the services, the wealth of knowledge and insight you gain from the offer of all Fools far outweighs any cost of membership. As a member of both Stock Advisor and Rule Breakers, I enjoy the selections of stocks to choose from each week. More than anything, I feel like my annual subscriptions go to what I hear and read from the wonderful Fools each week. The podcasts alone give me a daily dose of enlightenment, encouragement, and belief in conscious capitalism. Keep it up!
This site can give me more insight on what the market about
Also can find most of the useful info about the company im looking at
Highly recommended
So much information and access to other members, has accelerated my research. Also when I began, the educational resources were very helpful.
I've been a subscriber of Stock Advisor for years now and love the way Motley Fool presents investment ideas. They have a wide range of recommendations that come along with simplified investment thesis digesting large amounts of information into manageable summaries. Stock Advisor is worth the money to help find investment ideas to research for my portfolio, just know that the introductory rate will go up after your first year subscription. Since SA is a long term investing service, they don't provide buy and sell target prices through this service, so know that you will have to make your own decisions.
The one the down side I've found, they are a marketing machine and always come up with new services to sell. As a result I do receive lots of looooooong e-mails from them which I could do without.
Quite literally a company that gets you in the door by promising untold riches. So being the fool (pun intended) that I am, I buy into it. Only to then be told that the only way I can get the information that will get me those untold riches is to PAY EVEN MORE... save your money, use common sense.
Invested $200,000 on recommended 90 fool stocks in the last 6 months and only down $40,000 on those recommendations.
I appreciate the timely actionable advice and stock reviews that has served me well. I highly recommend to family and friends.
Signed up for Motley Fool 1 some years ago, ($12,000+) because I like the stated philosophy. The MF1 membership was supposed to be (or so I was lead to believe) a LIFETIME membership, with no further charges EVER. Now I am told it was only a 5 year membership, and they want another 2000-3000/year to continue. Feel like I was lied to, even defrauded. Like I said, I like their stated philosophy, but don't like the goofy name, and have found their advice/advisories AVERAGE at best, so I haven't made much use of it. PLENTY of other services, newsletters, and advisories, and I'm doing just fine without Motley Fool. Feel kind of ripped off by these folks.
Awesome investing track record over decades, but more importantly, the idea of investors helping other investors plays out on the Fool's discussion boards.
Waaay better than other investing services I have had... and a ton of different services to tailor to your specific investing needs.
Motley Fool sets the bar for investment advice, but you have to accept the philosophy of a diversified portfolio. You can't take one pick and go all-in. The service is transparent, and unlike other advisors, they track their success through time. Look at the record and you can judge for yourself. This site will make you a better investor.
Their advice is CRAP - they are shills, they should be in prison. W madoff, thei pushes give false info and they have ability to know info they dont publish
1: would not allow me to log on with Good Password'
2: would not send me link for new password, when finally came, link expired.
3: today customer service was worse. ERIC said I should just cancel the service and he was plain RUDE
In the past as much as I wanted to keep the services I was forced to cancel due to RUDENESS
Just read the reviews online
Motley Fool is a joke. Their basic service used to be good, but now they've watered it down so much it's ridiculous. Want to know about Small Caps? You have to also join their Small Caps membership. Oil and gas? There's a separate membership for that. Marijuana? You have to sign up for their weed membership. Hidden Gems? Yep - there's a service for that too. Now there's a new one for ipo's, which you can join for "only" $1500. What's left for the standard membership? Not much... They've become so big and so selfish that the joke's on those who join.
When its too good to be true, walk away. I purchased two subscriptions both had fantastic pitches, yeah i know i am to blame, and I admit it, After three months i cancelled both. On paper I would have lost several thousand if i had followed the recommendations. It seems they do their best work when it comes to marketing, if performance could be as great as their marketing, we would have a winner on our hands.
It does not work. Years ago, I paid well over 1k a yr to subscribe their service. Whey they advertise, they only mention a few stocks they picked that went up, but there are a lot more of their picks went way down that they don't mention. It's basically a scam and should not be allowed to exist.
If you are newThis is not a place for newbies, as they take advantage of your naivety to upsell you as much junk as they can. I ended up signing up for three newsletters when I only wanted one as each offer made it appear that it was something you had to jump on before it was too late. Long story short, I lost over 5K and that is a lot for me as I worked hard to save that and I learnt absolutely nothing about investing other than that the only part in their name that is true is FOOL. Now that I am wiser I can state that their site is good for contrarian information; do the opposite of what they preach bee like i was
Only a fool would listen to anything they have to offer. I kept a log of their recommendations via their free newsletters for roughly 1 year. If i had listened to everything they said i would have lost a small fortune. Best place if you are a contrarian, then you can do the opposite of what they profess.
This site is filllled with people either trying to pump crap stocks or just provide horrible info. Thats pretty much it. Nothing more. The end
Years ago they were much better. Now you even have the owner coming out and pumping stocks lol. They will prob get shut down soon
-great stock pick recommendations
-relatively insulated to market downturns (i. E., the 2018 market correction period)
-rarely do they sell their recommendations
-performance has been exceptional since I subscribed to the service in 2017
-unsubscribe the advertisement emails and you're off to a great long term investment experience
