Bad investment like most other Motley Fool products
The problem with Motley Fool is that they compare all of their returns to the S&P 500 index. So if the index is down one year and their newsletter picks are down but not down as much as the index they highlight that as a positive which is misleading. Why not advertise with real returns not ver Read more...

Motley waste of time
"If you like wasting money, just send me $200 via paypal and I'll give you a better ROI than the crap they recommend. Once upon a time these guys were good, but I highly recommend not using them. You'd get better returns with a mutual fund in small caps or a blend of small caps and S&P 500 pic Read more...

As Cramer's soundbite would say: 'Don't Buy, Don't Buy', I have to think that the MF team isn't doing their homework based on their performance... There is also another lousy letter called Motley Fool Hidden Gems Paydirt that was even worse and lost investors a fortune. MF mercifully ended that new Read more...

They are becoming spammers IMO
I used to have a lot of respect for these guys, but now, they are down right annoying. They pay big bucks, I am sure to get their little teaser articles on Yahoo Finance disguised as possible valuable insight. Of course, whenever a stock has a run, there's TMF posting an article, whereby the stocks Read more...

not worth the money
Picks pop up as soon as they are announced.. more often than not, you are guaranteed to 'miss the boat'. In addition, even if you didn't.. risk management is not at play here.. people blindly invest into these 'hidden gems' thinking they are safe plays. Many got burned, I would not recommend this ne Read more...
