See my note above about: PAYC, APPN, CHWY, OKTA and U. Some of the recommended stocks have performed very poorly. This includes PAYC, APPN, CHWY, OKTA and U. If not for some of the better performers like NVDA and TTD my portfolio would be well under water. If I have just selected an S&P 500 Fund I would have been better off.

Lots of Information Though the different service offerings can be overwhelming, The Motley Fool tries to provide education and recommendations to all types of investors. Investors needs to know themselves, risk tolerance, stage of life, etc., and then choose the right service(s). I really appreciate that they are willing and actively trying to improve, as well as ask for feedback. The new "Scorecard" updates provided by two analysts are fantastic, as are the "What Do We Think Now" articles.

Double digit returns already! Stock selections range from under $50.00 to $200.00 plus. Already scored a few double-digit returns! A lot of upsell and quite wordy, long, and detailed recommendations for higher-level subscriptions. Agree with the "hold five years" philosophy. Go long.

Motley Fools? Some of the worst advice you can get on investing. As far as I can tell, after losing hundreds of thousands of dollars with them, they are indeed a bunch of individual, scattered, overconfident fools with no peer scrutiny whatsoever. They let individual "fools" write their recommendations, which are pretty much free-wheeling subjective rants to promote individual stocks. If there is a sudden bump up in the price, a top-level Motley Fool might self-congratulate. If there is a 95 percent fall - which is not uncommon, as I can see in my Motley Fool portfolio, you never hear from them. Their self-reported earnings are at best highly dubious. Stay away from them - they are not to be trusted

Good recs; too many solicitations to upgrade Generally good recommendations over the years and have learned a lot and done a few % better than the S&P500 over the long haul (~25 years). But there are too many long-winded solicitations to upgrade my subscription.
