GBLots 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.

GBSee 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.

GBGreat service, room to continue to improve Customer service is excellent. Lead analysts are very good and broad based that is balanced by specific expertise in certain verticals and sectors. Overall quality of analyst perspective especially with the long standing analysts like Jim Gillies, Jason Moser, Ron Gross, Tim Beyers, Matt Frankel, Karl Thiel, Rick Munarriz to name a few is excellent. I like some of the newer analysts in the pipeline as well - Alicia, Kirsten, The Aussie guy - blanking on his name just now.... Love the Motley fool podcasts and also special shout out to Allison and Brokamp - New host has done outstanding job taking over from the prior. Things to improve: - Options service can do better. No ding on Jim Mueller but the service has been lack luster since Jim Gillies and Jeff Fischer left. I did not renew this service this year. - I think some of the calls in the market peak of 2021 and 2022 can be good lesson in hindsight. I think there were several recommendations that rode the eupohria and "irrational exuberance" of the market and it may have been prudent in hindsight to exercise some caution. I recall a few "old" stalwarts like Jason Moser, Bill Mann or Ron Gross did sound notes of caution during this period. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice.....

GBOver all good Over all, I'm happy although I lost a lot. It was only because I happened to pick all these losers, such as Lemonade, Redfin, Zillow, and Upstart. What irritates me is the fact that the people who talk about some stocks with so much passion once suddenly disclose that they have sold shares and/or start talking about the same stock in very negative ways... Since I can't watch/read every video/article, every time I encounter this kind of incident, I feel very stupid.
