The Motley Fool Questions & Answers

Thanks Erin for your excellent reply. I understand agree with you on most points. There are many platform tools available that would allow existing customers to select the amount of advertising they receive. Based on you reply I am going to reseach your offerings and give one a try this week. Thanks again, Rob

Quite frankly I have no idea or interest!

Hi Jeff, I had no problem in contacting Motley Fool and they cancelled my account and credited the amount charged, they contacted me within the hour, perhaps you could try calling them (07) 5564 5529 or check yellow pages for Motley Fool Brisbane, just google, good luck.

Thank you, I will call them tomorrow

1 only. An ETF that has 200 horses in a 200 horse race. Use either A200 or GEAR

Hi Adz, Thats a personal decision based on all sorts of factors how much money you have to invest, how many companies you can comfortably follow, how long you have until retirement, and more. But we suggest building a portfolio of at least 12 companies, which should give you a diversified portfolio.

Hi Shane
The same happened to me. But I was able to locate a number by googling it and looking through some of the returns. And they were very helpful and quickly reversed the charge.
Cheers

For me sometimes there seems to be bull traps You think it’s going up, bull trap, one day, and next day it crashes... ie false hope

Depends on the volume of shares traded. In a heavily traded stock there will usually still be a buyer but at a very low price. In stock with low trade volumes even in good times there may be no buyers. There are two market prices, buy and sell. To sell you must find someone willing to pay the price you set or you sell for the price the market is willing to pay. In a crash the price the market is willing to pay keeps dropping and sellers keep dropping their selling prices to meet the market. People lose so much money because they are gambling. They buy in the hope the price will go up and then sell at a loss when it goes down. Investing is buying because the company is good value now whether the market price goes up or down and if the price goes down to less than it is worth why would you sell unless fundamentals have changed.

i am a newbie in the shares investing tho.
However after done a few readings. Each of the class has their own pros and cons.
It really depend on the capital capacity and risk appetite towards a person own desire.
Investing is knowing the risk, access it and deal with it.

BRK-B (NYSE). An alternative from Australia is to invest in the listed investment company called the Global Masters Fund Limited (ASX: GFL). It may be unfamiliar to most investors because it only has a market capitalisation of just over $21 million but its portfolio is 65.5% Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE) (BRK).

I think that by joining Motley Fool Pro you should do very well. At my age I am not looking more for long term investments but dividends and some cheaper stocks to gamble with. So I use Dividend Investor and Hidden Gems. I am also thinking of joining Motley Fool Pro. Do not expect Motley Fool to make you money, IT IS YOU WHO MAKES THE CHOICES. I have purchased shares that I have lost on, and lost on shares I should have brought that made money. You cannot win them all. Do not expect them to give you free advice, they are in business to make money and so try to up sell you. Like McDonalds, would you like fries with that? Any good business will try to UP sell.

I find the share adviser pretty good and accurate and got me an average of 22% pa return. Those doing well are those businesses which are export oriented or have offshore investments especially the medical and innovative sectors. I go long term that means at least 5 years. I am confident I can double my returns in 4 years to retire nicely.I do not know of any other advisers who are better.

I suspect they won't let you cancel - except as a gesture of goodwill. Make sure you did not "subscribe" - this means that hey take your money from your credit card a year from now (auto-renewal). Perhaps all you can do (as I did) is cancel the renewal. Make sure you get an email from them saying that they've cancelled the auto-renewal

thank you for that answer, I had a feeling that would be the case. I did hit subscribe, so I will just have to be aware when the renewal notice comes through and not go ahead with it. Funny, my accountant subscribes to Motley Fool and she was the one who suggested it to me, thanks for your advise regards ....crate

No renew notice will come through! They will just take the money out of your credit card automatically. Sending an email cancelling your subscription does not work either and your bank won't help...I had to "lose" my credit card to make it stop. I just joined here to tell you that...

The best advice will come form you're own research. Not hard just takes a bit of time and effort. Bit difficult at the moment with the volatility in the markets but monitor your portfolio daily and flick anything that does not head north of your buy price within a few weeks. Look for good value buy's like HZR, SFX and SMN type companies with huge potential and low value financial backed start ups at medium risk. There are plenty to jump on out there.. The more you listen to the so called experts the more confused you will be..Generally people that are good at what they do will manipulate the markets by giving misleading info via subscriptions to day trade small spikes influenced by mass subscribers jumping on tips given. I have 25 ASX companies in my 80k portfolio and make between .5 % and 2 % per day (yes per day) consistently and it took about 12 weeks to get the right combo. 50% of these have huge potential the other half are steady movers. 5 are potential 10+ bagers.
Happy hunting

Hey luckyluke, .5-2% a day!!???
Does warrant Buffett wake you up every morning with a hand job too???
In answer to this question, there are many good free websites and forums. The barefoot investor is another great subscription service with much less of the hard sell advertising.
