I would like to say that I have been a subscriber on a number of platforms with Motley over the years and have invested quite a lot of money based on their recommendations. Now I find one of these memberships is up for renewal and I've been offered various prices, the best of which is $119.00 (heavily discounted by 70%, I'm told). The problem is that I have an email from Motley dated June 2019 stating the following:
"On 2021-06-26 your subscription will renew for 2 years at the current renewal rate of $149.00, and at the same rate every 2 years after that."
When I pointed this out I was told that their policies had changed and I was not entitled to this price.
I feel it comes down to a matter of honouring a contract and to say that I am most disappointed in their stance is putting it mildly.
I have now lost all respect for them and will not be renewing any platform as it becomes due for renewal.
Just as a matter of interest I have analysed all of the stocks in this portfolio and the result is that only 50% are in a profit situation and in today's market this sucks.
Thank you for your feedback.

There isn't a financial publisher, The Motley Fool included, that can promise that a recommended stock will not encounter market fluctuations. Investments are inherently a risk, and the market will fluctuate. When we recommend a stock in any subscription or strategy, we are doing so with the intention of holding that stock for 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.
