The Motley Fool

Unfortunately, this is not going to be good.
. Apparently, I’m the fool. I don’t care what people say, or how Motley Fool has made them soooo much money and gave excellent advice. Sure, you’ll find people (or employees) that say they are great. But… I think NOT. I was looking from them a finesse into investing that I lacked. After paying a Large Fee for their services for 1 year.(telling me it’s 100% guaranteed refund if not happy in the first year… then telling me later, after I’m not happy, that I would have had to sign up for 2 years… lol. that’s right. to get my money back!!) The reason I was unhappy was due to the fact that my entire portfolio had lost 40% of it’s value in 11 months. Provided, the economy sucked… but touting their so secretive selection that was going to make HUGE dividends… was a big looser. That choice was Solar City. A huge, huge mistake to believe «Their Experts»… RUN AWAY FROM THEIR BS EMAIL.

Avoid Motley Fool! I signed up for their «Supernova» advice at $ 4000, never got the stock picks! What did I receive in the event you’re wondering is a full year of their «up sell» for their other Motley Fool products. Finally cancelled after 1 year was told it was a «computer glitch». I’m guessing that’s their polite way of saying «go f-​yourself»?! Motley Fool customer service appears to be as good as their stock advice, although I wouldn’t know as I only received «up sell»!

A long time ago I was a member on their website, and even took up their advice a few times on buying stock. I think one recommendation I made money on, the other I didn’t. I am not involved with them now although I did check out their website recently. I find the discussion on Unilocal funny where they claim they only exist virtually s it’s pretty clear they have offices in Alexandria VA and are hiring people (must be hiring avatars!).

Their investment feedback was not good for me at all. And I emailed them twice to cancel my account and got no response other than an automated response. Could not recommend this at all!

The Motley Fool and corresponding website (
) is a business focusing on financial education. The company had it’s heyday in the 1990s, but personally faded from relevance and utility many years ago. The company used to be alot more independent, community driven and fresh… now it is all about selling products.
Don’t get me wrong, they offer good financial advice. But I personally have no use for what they are currently selling. If they had a community oriented website with advertising and selling books and some subscriptions, I might go back. Alas, it just isn’t the place to be anymore.

Investment media firm that is fully dedicated to educating, amusing, and enriching its members. Stay Foolish my friends.
