The Motley Fool (page 2 of 10)

I paid the 99$ (US) or so to sign up for a stock advisor thing, I had a very few e-mail about what I actually paid for.
But in return I get flooded with offer I don't even care about.... if I option out I wonder if I loose my stock advisor e mail that I actually paid for... so I don't
I don't even which e-mail is part of my subscription that I paid for.
All they want is selling you membership on top on another and another one....
Total waste of money!

Stay away and do some research, this what I do know.

Corrupt company. Trying to slug me $199 for something I never signed up to.
Prior to that I did pay a one year membership for about $90. Their stock tips were terrible. Disgusted by their corruption and incompetence. Total rip off. DO NOT go near them.

I joined up hoping it was as good as promised but very disappointed and will not renew. Every day a new email with a teaser, with request to upgrade. It is clear the cheap "one year buy in" is to catch you for an upgrade later on. I receive far too many teasers and regard this site as unprofessional and focused solely on improving its own income. Marcus Today and Lincoln are far more professional.

I took out a subscription 1 year ago.I have bought shares on their recommendations and lost over 50% of my life savings.A very corrupt company with very little morals. You certainly made a fool out of me

One of the worst companies buyer beware.i really don’t know what there are doing.Some of the worst data and technical information. please be prepared for massive losses.So so terrible this is a scam.

This company has to rate as one of the biggest rip offs. They don't do what they say they will do and their advice is very suspect. I believe any investment with them is a waste of time and money

I had subscribed to TMF a few months ago and closely watched the recommendations they provided. All stocks had large losses immediately after the recommendations. Constant spam emails to try and get more money from you with different memberships. Very little advice with even less value.

I joined Motley Fool Share Advisor last week, and despite repeated attempted to log in, they just won't accept my email address despite sending me at least two to three emails daily trying to flog other products. They have not returned any of my emails either. I can see from reviews that others have had the same problem. Don't fall for their palava. They are a scam company. I am going to contact my Bank and stop any further payments in the future to them.

I took 3 of its recommendation and they all turned out losses. The thing is that they managed to delete all big losers in score card, only keep gainers and small losers.

Check out stockgumshoe.com and the author Travis Johnson really drills down to expose the reality of these 'stock pickers'. Most of them are scammers who recommend buying stocks so they can 'short' and make a windfall at the expense of the mug fools. They never mention how many shares they own or their friends own in their 'stock pick' and if they are buyers or sellers.Basically they make money two ways, selling subscriptions and 'pumping and dumping' stock picks. Don't be caught with your pants down when the tide goes out.

Four days ago I warily paid for a 2 year membership and the money was deducted from my credit card. I was relieved to receive an email welcoming me to The Motley Fool group. HOWEVER, despite trying to log in for FOUR days, I receive a default saying that it doesn't recognise my email address. I being emailing them for four days requesting assistance but NO RESPONSE. I am now wondering to call my bank advising them that I have been scammed???

I have made sold profits by following up on the recommendations and making a final decision myself. One must understand that not all recommendations will turn out profitable. Investors need to regularly monitor what they have decided on. I allow up to a 30% setback and concentrate on the recommendations that have had prolonged periods of upward movement. eg. CSL, ALU, ALL, A2M, MGX, ...etc.. all recommended by Motley's. I concentrate on several of their advisors. Funnily enough, I'm not a subscriber. Motley's are very generous in providing free information. Very happy.

To get a feel for how bad this service is, all you have to do is look at the Motley fool's ASX share recommendations over the last 5 years and compare them to ASX market. They have a terrible track record. Worst subscription I ever purchased.

I wish I had read reviews before joining their Extreme Opportunity subscription, received absolutely nothing for it and now am worried that come renewal they will automatically take from my account.
Im lodging a complaint with fair trading as no answers to emails and no number to call.

This is a real waste of money. It is just an upsetting assault of automated emails trying to you to buy something else better spend $ elsewhere like Morningstar or a REAL financial service provider. The customer service is terrible as you can't speak with a person EVER just automated bots. Once your money leaves your cc its is damn near impossible to get it back so go directly to the cc provider and dispute the charge as emails are never replied to and the ph numbers are bot duds where no one ever replies. beware

In their marketing for DI, Motley Fool only talks about their wins, not their losses . I paid a $99 1 year subscription to find out more, but after I signed on & read the Recommendation History covering over 2 years, I saw that the vast majority of the Recommendations lost a lot of money ( usually 10-50%) and also substantially underperformed the ASX benchmark . I promptly requested a refund & suggest others do likewise . I think I'm better off selecting stocks with the dartboard method.

This has to be some sort of scam. The shares we bought in 2016 on their advice eg.Telstra, have almost halved in price. Greencross have sold without any correspondence to us the shareholder at a 25% loss for us. G8 also recommended have showed consistent losses. I could go on and on. In our experience these are incompetent advisors in Australian shares. They sign you up for annual subscription at an inflated price from you're original commitment unbeknownst to you. I was reviewing my Paypal account and saw the ongoing payments which I cancelled immediately. Steer clear. Do not waste your time or money.
