Still Super? Fool’s “American Super Brand” Endures

By StockGumshoe ⋅ March 10, 2008 ⋅ 8 comments

Newsletters are notorious for re-using the same ad copy for years and years and years, and the Motley Fool is no different — when they get a marketing pitch that really works, they keep trotting it out again, and again, and again. I’ve mentioned this before, particularly with their “Next Berkshire Hathaway” pick that [...]

By StockGumshoe ⋅ February 29, 2008 ⋅ 29 comments

OK, so this one is quick and dirty. No, not that kind of dirty! Get your mind out of the gutter, it’s not even Noon yet.

Rule Makers is an old term from the Motley Fool lexicon, they’re the ideal evolution from the “Rule Breakers” that Dave Gardner looks [...]

I’m finding that sleuthing out stock picks is a healthy way to indulge in my stock market addiction on days like this, when I would otherwise be throwing money at what look to me like serious bargains, only to watch them fall a further 10 or 20% in the minutes following my purchase.
