This was by far the worst of the MF publications I subscribed to. The premise sounded very promising, taking the best from all their newsletters, but proved to be a resounding dud. And an expensive one, too. I got out after 6 months with nothing to show for it. They charged $ 500. I do wish I had researched subscribers’ feedback before I committed to any of the newsletters and I am grateful for having found this web site.
What a waste of money for this subscription to MDP. All hype to deliver little better than S&P returns since inception. Joined at the start and glad I only tracked the suggested portfolio and never invested real dollars. Granted 2008 was a tough year, but I did much better on my own with mutual funds. Save your money and buy a dart board you couldn’t do much worse. Of course I could always buy additional services from MF which seems to be offered on a regular basis. A little honesty would be nice!
Allied Irish Bank should tell you everything you need to know about them. They actually flew to Ireland to check the books during the financial crisis and they said everything was great. Meanwhile stock price goes from $55 to a now $2.50. Give me a break Fools. I gave them 5 stars for consistency, consistently BAD.
I have purchased most of the MF offerings at one time or another. All were a bust.
MDP was the worst. I lost a bundle. The Irish bank proves they don’t know what they are doing.
I was just about to subscribe at a sale price of $599 but, after reading these reviews, fuggedabout it. On my own, I’m up 12%. I’ve done well following James Stewart of Smart Money, Fred Hickey’s The High Tech Strategist and Barron’s.
Thanks, all, for posting your reviews; they saved me $599 and who knows how much investing losses if I followed MDP.
I subscribed May 2008 and don’t fully use the service except the basic buy sell info since I haven’t had the time to be really involved. My MDP portfolio (originally $31,000) is up an average 9.3% per year after all expenses as of Mar 2011. The portfolio is too small for the $600 per year fee, but in this case has been worth it. Note: I don’t have enough experience to properly assign the rating stars.
Great fun to read the posts. That’s really worthwile. The picks just have not been what I expected. No in depth analyses of the companies and too volatile to my taste.
But really, no regrets to have signed up. Just one year will be fine for me.
