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.

Stay away from them - they are not to be trusted
