The Fool got my attention around 2016 with the flood of ads saying to buy NVDA it was 36. A share and because I had funded my ROTH 5,000. A yr for the previous 4 years at the insistence of a coworker, I had no idea what I was doing. By the time I was going to buy it it was up to 68. And I figured I missed it and made a big mistake. Because of that I always pay attention when the Fool pushes a lot of ads for a stock. I got TTD for 55. And SHOP for 99. 3000 in each at the height of the Covid bubble we’re both up over 50,000. Ea along with PYPL GOING FROM 6,000. TO 30,000 a lot of the others either went nowhere or down and unfortunately the Fool approach of hold long through down markets has my PYPL back to even SHOP WENT FROM the 50’s to between 15,000. And 20, still a good return but I wish the Fool gave more info on possible trouble like even now w the 2 wars going on. My best is still TTD it goes between 35,000. And 43,000. 13x return at one point. I just don’t like the advice of stay strong when things get bad that made me watch PYPL lose 87%

I have been a Motley Fool subscriber for many years. They did something during the COVID crash when things were doom and gloom that caught my attention and made sense. Tom issued a publication for his top ten stocks. His 10 stocks covered many sectors and were not all technology. He indicated that this was the time to own these stocks because these are “forever” stocks. I re balanced my portfolio and he was spot on. Those stocks took off and many are now part of the AI surge. I have found their subscription to make the most sense of the hundreds out there. You are not buying and selling every month, as well their strategy has tax advantages versus others because you are holding stocks for 5 years. Taxes can be a big issue during a bull run. They also indicate non-performers (the penalty box) and when to dump then. Very seldom mentioned, they have an EFT (TMFC) of 100 stocks that has performed very nicely as well.

, thanks for your comment. I don’t doubt that there are some good (no, excellent!) recommendations on the various subscriptions. However, I can’t get my head around the supposed benefit of paying every month for a changing list of stocks when, once I have created a portfolio of 20 or so, I am going to hold them for 5 years if not longer. I did take out a one-year subscription, coincidentally also during the pandemic, to the most basic “Stock Adviser” service – and selected my 5-year (or possibly “forever”) stocks within the first 3 or 4 months.

When I joined TMF as a novice investor in 2005, there were, if I recall correctly, three services, and, each service limited its recommendations to its specialty. I built my portfolio completely on those recommendations with great results. It was exciting; and, I was a happy camper. Unfortunately, as time passed, TMF began opening new specialty services in order to gain more membership fees. This, of course, narrowed down the recommendations allotted to the other services. So, if one wanted to continue getting all recommendations, it was necessary to join the new services as they were added. In the past, stock recommendations were new; however, they became increasingly re-recommendations. The new stocks with exciting potential went to the newer specialty groups. After the last expiration of my membership, I said, Enough!
