The Motley Fool Duke St, Alexandria

I joined MF in Nov 18 signing up for Rule Breakers portfolio. Followed by Explorer,and recently Trailblazer IPO. I have been interested in investing since the 70's with my fathers assistance and support. I have read Investors Business Daily/weekly, for the past 20+ years and have adopted the long term investing montra. The CAN SLIM technique from IBD made investing more logical, and helped build confidence with data. Reading MF has similar great qualities. Balancing the amount of data is helpful and confidence building, without being snowed in with excess. My first trade with MF was Mulesoft, I loved reading about this company until Salesforce announced the acquisition. I am trying to catch up and read about the Trailblazer selections, there are some fantastic business models blossuming . I fun to watch them grow. I hope this review explains how I feel about MF. fool on, Jonathan

I value the service for its recommendations and investing ideas and the value the community brings when I wish to see what like minded individuals are thinking about in investing. I take all advice with a grain of salt as it is still only opinions and due diligence must be excersized but can provide a starting point for investigation. While TMF reports on developments as quickly as is reasonable I think the advisers should be quicker to suggest sells especially upon negative developments with recommended companies (i.e. LK) to minimize losses or realize gains (i.e. QGEN). The buy side may not be as critical as we are long term thinkers and good companies today continue to be good companies tomorrow usually, but if a position is taken on a perceived good company that suddenly goes south the trigger to sell needs to be pulled fairly quickly to minimized continued loss. Again using LK as an example I believe TMF has a hold on it even now. Just my 2 cents for now, thanks for all your hard work.

Member for several years and overall very happy with the information provided. There have been a few significant misses but majority of the time the information has been accurate and very beneficial.

Best investment I’ve made. Reconfigured my portfolio and gained $ 40,000 Versus 5-6%, fabulous recommendations, but you must hold and be patient.

I disagree with what your saying. The banks and all these other institutions had the upperhand by investing in bitcoin and make huge profits now they are sour grapes because the normal person can also benefit from those profits. Banks are corrupt and unscrupulous by giving us peanuts when we invest large amounts of money but with Bitcoin you immediately see a huge difference. Just my two cents worth.

My renewal to your subscription should speak volumes. I have learned more from your articles and comments than mostly anywhere else. Your people are not passive instructors since you are fully engaged in the process, and your information is concise, your comments are not fuzzy and vague. Your recommendations are clear and informative, and the visual layout of your emails is perfectly designed to attract reading and absorbing -- not too much -- not too little, and I'm running out of space.....

Ever since i have joined Motley Fool my investments have done 300% better in 2 years than they did in the past 6 years with a broker. I highly recommend their services!

Great site for investing information and ideas. I have only one criticism; there is way too much hype with promoting/adding a new investment service seamingly every year and the cost of joining in many cases is stratospheric. They appear less and less to be a service for the small investor.

An excellent family of several paid investment-advice services (and a personal-finance one about retirement and preparing for it), and many discussion groups, including both premium ones (only for subscribers to some of the paid services) and many free ones on investment issues, personal finance, and many other kinds of topics. Related but separate companies offer mutual funds and wealth management services.
