| "The Motley Fool" any good? |
 |
|
I signed up for "The Motley Fool" on-line investment advice site, and they regularly send me advice about how to invest and what to invest in. Does this company have a good track record when it comes to what to invest in? Honestly, they give a very convinsing spin on what to buy, and how to buy it from them. Are they really that good? Has anyone tried them out?
Thanks in advance!

I think they've got some interesting takes on investing and some wise and prudent advice. Nobody has got all the answers, though.....

Ummm...
Actually, I DID have a subscription with them - I had both the Hidden Gems and Value Newsletter.
To be honest, they're newsletter is decent, if your time horizon gives you long enough to weather out bear markets - unfortunately, both newsletters I had were completely based on fundamental analysis - which definitely does not hold up well when the markets tank.
Try it out, but I would monitor their recommendations pretty closesly to see if they pan out. None of them did for me. But then again, my style is to hold onto postions for months, rather than years.
Hope this helps,

I have not used them, however I have monitored many investment newsletters and found them all to be rather inconsistent and unreliable. I am not saying it cannot work, just keep your potential loss to a minimum.

Thanks a lot guys! Well, i'm here for the long haul, so I've got enough time to see if their advice pans out. I'll try a few mock trades, and will wait and see.

I would say anytime you put your money in the hands of someone else, they have NOTHING to lose. As long as you keep that in mind and act accordingly, it could produce some good results or bad ones, but at least you will be responsible, not them, so you can't cry too hard.

I haven't subscribed to any of their products, but I do enjoy reading their articles. No investment advice is a sure thing, otherwise there wouldn't be so many TV shows and websites suggesting their way is better than others. Do your research and watch your investments closely!

The best way is to learn the investment skills yourself. In case you lost money, you will gain experience on the other end. Or just diversify into multiple asset class or even CD. I learn the investment skill by myself, actually half and half, both fundamental and use technical on trading. Pretty effective.

No matter how good MF is, it is just wise to read their advice... but not follow it.
See what mistakes they make and prevent yourself from following in their footsteps.
