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

Consistent Choices I like the MF approach to picking stocks. I like holding on to stocks. I like the diversity of suggested buys. With the exception of the covid period, my MF stocks have done very well.

Way way too much marketing BS Way way too much marketing BS - I bail out on every email as soon as I see all the BS. Quit sending all the same charts and "data" from years past and get to the point with essential content and price of offerings.

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.

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.
