Looks at income-producing investment ideas.
Focused on investments in the energy, especially renewables and “what the next 10+ years in the energy sector will look like”.
Aims to delivery rapid-growth stocks (5-10 year objectives) in four categories: Titans of Industry, Proven Winners, Emerging Stars, and Moonshots. “Rule Breakers” are typically “first mover” or “top dog” companies with rapid growth rates that conventional analysts consider very overvalued.
This one’s a little bit different, since the Motley Fool is selling not a subscription necessarily, but a special report called “The NEW Rule Makers: 5 Power Stocks You’ll Never Want to Sell.” Rule Makers is an old term from the Motley Fool lexicon, they’re the ideal evolution from the “Rule Breakers” that Dave Gardner […]
Usually when you hear “little-known Canadian stock” you think, “hey, that’s probably some miner lying about their assay samples out of a storefront office in Vancouver” … but this one’s a little different. To start with, it’s not a mining stock, and has nothing to do with gold or tar sands or pipelines or any […]
Hi – Travis and members ” Anyone know or suspect what the pot stock is that Motley Fool is touting as the future Amazon of Canada?
February 25, 2017 / wade3
Anyone got an idea of Motley Fool’s most recent Teaser? Travis, where are you?
Just a few days ago, members of Motley Fool Total Income discovered our #1 high-yield stock pick. That stock currently pays a monster 5.42% dividend and was described by a colleague of mine as ”one of those stocks dividend investors dream of.” And on Monday morning, to continue celebrating the grand opening of our newest […]
Does any body know the marijuana stock Motley Fool is teasing recently? I saw an add on Facebook. Apparently it’s a Canadian company, with partnerships with Facebook, amazon, and newly the Ontario government. Since July 2016 it’s grown over 400% and last quarter grew 86% in sales. Sounds like the CEO recently said the company […]
A few readers forwarded this email to me recently, though I don’t know how widely it’s being disseminated at the moment… it is an ad for the Motley Fool’s flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, which has probably gotten more coverage in the pages of Stock Gumshoe than any other newsletter (if only because it’s an inexpensive […]
Has anyone used the Motley Fool Options program they are promoting? It’s more pricey than most Motley Fool programs at $750 for one year or 1500 for three. The one and two year memberships can only be cancelled for a thirty day period. I am sure they have a ton of winners but there must […]
Anyone know what the A I company is that is promoted in Motley Fool’s ”A I Disruption Playbook”?
Travis, you’ve probably written about this, from Motley Fool, but I’ve only just noticed it. Is it just wireless / mobile in general , or do they get more specific? ”The days of paying for costly software upgrades are numbered. The PC will soon be obsolete. And BusinessWeek reports 70% of Americans are already using […]
TLDR MF number one small cap stock is KNSL Kinsale Capital Group Once again I watched the Motley Fool webinar so you don’t have to (don’t worry i was at work so it wasn’t just a wasted hour i got paid to do it). First it started off how Small caps have been outperforming large […]

Just posted about AI/AR SERICes of Motley Fool & how disappointed I was. Need to revise: They did respond to an email which I did not receive. I Pd $1499 not $999 because the lower price was for previous users of AR service. Makes sense. The services sometimes overlap in recommendations but no portfolio is […]
Continuing the rundown of the best teaser picks of the year, this one comes from the Motley Fool, specifically from their Rule Breakers newsletter, and it is the only one of the “next Google” stocks that I’ve seen teased that has gotten even close to a double so far. It reached a 141% gain that […]
The Motley Fool gets more coverage here at Stock Gumshoe than pretty much any other newsletter publisher, with the possible exception of Stansberry — partly because the Fool has had some very good picks over the years, and partly because they have one of the biggest email lists around and they push a lot of […]
Today’s tempting teaser is from the Motley Fool brothers, Dave and Tom Gardner — well, they didn’t write the ad, that fell to the publisher so they didn’t have to get their hands dirty with hucksterism, but they’re the ones recommending the stocks. The ad’s theme is an update on one that they’ve been using […]
I wrote on Monday about a Motley Fool Canada pitch for an Artificial Intelligence stock, and that tease pointed at one of two smallish tech companies from Canada’s Silicon Valley (Waterloo, Ontario)… I speculated that it was likely OpenText (OTEX) that Stock Advisor Canada was hinting at, given the clues dropped, but today we’ve got […]
“The ‘unmistakable signal’ that could lead YOU to profits of 246%, 631%, even 1,425% “Only one in a thousand investors has even heard of it. But it’s delivered them an average return of 140% for more than ten years running. “And the signal just started flashing AGAIN — pointing them to a surging stock that […]
Today I’m taking a “mea culpa” moment to remind you about a a stock I’ve been a wee bit skeptical of as “too expensive” for quite a while … I’ve been quite wrong about the stock so far and it has risen persistently and consistently over the last 2+ years. Not that it’s rare for […]
The following article covers a teaser ad that has just started to be run again by the Motley Fool. Our article was originally published on February 2, 2011 when the ad first started to run, and the ad is substantially the same but the article below has not been updated or revised so some of […]
It’s been a few days since we covered a nice, long hyped up teaser from the Motley Fool Stock Advisor — though that’s also probably the newsletter that we’ve covered more than any other, given their popularity and their heavy marketing. So what are they promising this time around? “The talking heads on TV are […]
Well, it didn’t take Michael Robinson long to alight on a new letter — the former editor of American Wealth Underground left his publisher and newsletter a while back (don’t know why, or if it was voluntary) and has now moved to Money Map Press. Both publishers (his old one was Insiders Strategy Group) are […]
I don’t necessarily like to gang up on the same publisher two days in a row — but, well, the great legions of Gumshoe readers are asking for it, and we do aim to please. So just like yesterday, today we’re digging through some Motley Fool foofaraw, an ad they’ve been sending out this week […]
The latest promotional campaign for the Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor newsletter is perhaps a bit more honest than most … … they make it clear up front that they’re going to tell you about a few ideas for free, but that they’ll just tease you about their favorite pick and will only give it to […]
The folks at the Motley Fool have run lots of ads for stock picks that “piggyback” on the iPhone’s gargantuan success — as have lots of other newsletter publishers, of course — and it looks like that trend will continue. The ad I’ve seen today takes a somewhat different tack on this same basic idea […]
I LOVE this ad. Not just because it’s fun to read, full of hyperbole, and fills our head with dreams of huge investment returns — they all do that. No, I love it because it’s great to see the big newsletter publishers answering each others’ challenges — you’ve certainly seen and heard Porter Stansberry’s “End […]
Tom Jacobs runs one of the “premium” newsletter services at the Motley Fool — they call it Special Ops, and I’ve written about it before … but that happened to be for the Irregulars in the Friday File, so many of you might have missed it. Special Ops says it looks for, as you might […]
Looks for “special opportunity” investments in deep value or unknown stocks, orphaned spinoffs, mergers and the like. (Newsletter is defunct).
The Motley Fool Global Gains folks recently went to Australia on a stock-finding trip, and they came back with a few recommendations for their subscribers that editor Tim Hanson is also teasing for the rest of us — with an eye, naturally, to adding to those subscriber rolls. And certainly, Australia has been one of […]
Yesterday we took a look at the “Apple Core” stocks, companies who have assets or products that the iPhone/iPad colossus can’t live without … and I promised that I’d catch up today and get into Apple Core #3, the one teased stock I didn’t get to in our initial sleutification work (if you missed that […]
Time once again, dear children, for a tale from the Middle Kingdom. Once upon a time, there was a nation so vast and populous that investors got dollar signs in their eyes just gazing upon the smoggy mega-cities that grew like weeds in that distant land. And lo, it was told that it was just […]
Seems like I’m seeing a lot more of David Gardner over the last month than I had for ages — he’s the growth-focused half of the Motley Fool brothers, and this time around the pitch is for his “aggressive growth” newsletter Rule Breakers. This letter has brought us a lot of interesting ideas in the […]
Well, the copywriters over the Motley Fool seem to have been working overtime to churn out ads for the Motley Fool Stock Advisor … so I guess the lights will stay on late into the night at Gumshoe HQ, too. What is it they’re pitching now, and why does it have so many of my […]
Have you seen the newest ad from the Motley Fool? It’s similar in many ways to lots of their other teaser ads — it’s loooooong, it includes lots of quotes from outside sources to buttress their claim that they are the one publisher looking out for the small investor, and it teases an investment idea […]

And certainly, Australia has been one of […]
The Motley Fool copywriters seem to love this general type of pitch — “Must buy X before Y happens!” — they used it heavily for their multiple teases of American Tower, among others (buy before the iPhone 4, then buy before Verizon gets the iPhone … I assume we’ll also see it again when the […]
Today, for our Friday pleasure, I thought I’d dig into a teaser for a newsletter that you can’t subscribe to right now even if you want to — how sexy and exclusive is that?! Actually, the teaser came out in a very abbreviated and clue-light form in an ad for the “re-opening” of a Motley […]
