The Motley Fool
Questions & Answers

Kind of a scam: impossible to cancel auto-renew subscription from their website and impossible to contact member support, been trying HARD for 15 days...

They're a paid subscription to essentially clickbait. So, a scam that they've been running for years.

Legit company that scams for more money by promissing the next BIG opportunity, IF you pay more.

The Motley Fool is a legit company created to help individual investors understand investing basics and provide them with investing ideas. They encourage investors who are willing to spend the time researching companies to be long term holders of a diverse portfolio. They very clearly identify that most of an investor's gains will be driven by a small number of the stocks in their portfolio and that a large number of your picks may lose to the market (some might be outright losers). The Fool teaches the process for identifying the publicly traded companies that might have a higher probability of beating the market over 3 to 5 years or more.

Basially a scam, since their recommendation do not really work. It's like if you randomly picking stocks, you would come up with about the same result.

Complete scam, I have lost thousands of dollars buying their recommendations in the exact method they detail on their website. Stay away. They won't even give refunds. I feel like my money was stolen from me.

They just want your membership. Don't do it. I wasted 2 years of my life and half my account with them.

Motlet fool us a pump and dump scheme, nothing more. They hype a couple stocks until novice investors raise tue stock price, and then motley fool reps sell their investments at a profit, bring the price down for suckers who took their advice. Maybe every couple hundred pucks they recommend might do ok, and thats all they talk about. Vultures is what they are.

Legit! I've been aware of them for about 21 years and have subscribed (pay service) for 4 years with phenomenal results. I've looked at their recs going back to '04, and in a word, wow! They've had some really big returning stocks, but even their ones that are out of this world give considerably better returns than the S&P500 on average. They don't all hit, but more do than don't by a fair margin. Add in a few big hitters and you've got a recipe for success.

It is legit, have been using for couple of years now, so far I am happy with the outcome
