I am new to investing and use various free websites for choosing stocks, I choose mostly companies that provide something i am interested in. However i joined Motley Fool back in April as it was reasonably priced and I have enjoyed using their Stock Adviser service to pad out my portfolio since. I haven't invested in every recommendation, just selected the ones i liked the sound of.
I have started following my stocks for an hour or so a day (because i have the spare time obviously at the moment (COVID19)), this is an eye opener and a good way to see how things work. I did panic a few times and sell unwisely, but i am now calmer with it and will hold for the Medium/Long term as the Fools recommend.
Yes you do get quite a few emails to start with about other services, which did make things a bit confusing and annoying to start with, but now i've sussed it and understand how they work (i'd rather have the emails and the opportunity they offer than not and go it alone). They are a business after all.
For me it works, i'm currently up on the stocks that they have recommended, i also understand that next week i could be down, but its 5 years down the line that counts.
I like the Motley Fools and would recommend them, I now subscribe to another of their services and may consider more in the future.
Hope all that made sense.
