The Motley Fool Canada Anmeldelser 185

I had previously used Motley Fool's services while living in the USA and was pleased with the information contained on their website. After moving back to Canada, I thought the service would be the same or similar, but I was wrong.

Motley Fool Canada has a much more limited information and tools at the user's disposal, but they still charge the same (if not more) for their service in Canada. Additionally, you get spammed on a daily basis with offers to upgrade your service (which I did on signup), and you'll spend more time navigating the spam than you will getting any relevant info about stocks and investing.

I consider my subscriptions to their so-called Epic Bundle to be a complete waste and regret spending my money with the Motley Fool Canada.

The last stock recommendation I got was to buy Apple. Seriously? This is their in-depth research. Apple? I also got a SELL recommendation for TTD and then shortly after TTD was a BUY recommendation. What's next? Will they tell me to buy low and sell high?

Save your money. Stay far away from this clown show.

I have gained useful insight from this sight a number of times but decided that I would cancel my subscription as I was not using it much. I have tried to contact them a number of different ways (phone, email) and have received no response. They auto renewed my subscription. Not sure if to fight the charge on my credit card or just cancel the card as they seem determined to keep me subscribed.

i have tried them a couple times and each time - they don't give any real advice(even after i paid for that) and want more money to reveal what you signed up for. i don't recommend them at all

I have used the Motley Fool, Hidden Gems, Stock advisor and Dividend Investor for years, and was very happy with them until the last couple of years.
Now picking good stocks is much more difficult I réalise, but I have been very disappointed with their advice, and with their lack of advice on previous reps that are tanking, or those that rose and should have been sold. I have lost all their previous gains In the last 2 years.
And I think they are pushing too many specialized portfolios. The original Stock Advisor was very good. I think they should drop many of the specialized services and just go back to giving the ordinary investor better advice. I am about to drop their services after maybe 10 years.

I have used the Motley Fool services for 6 years & it has been very profitable. For me the independent research is valuable and I can then determine if the stock recommendation is a good fit for me. The forums are a good resource as well. Of course there are going to be some stocks that are less profitable. Overall, it’s an investing philosophy I believe in.

these guys are fools stay away, the way they make money are from there fees that make you nothing. The glowing reviews are posted by themselves.

I have signed up with MF two or three times in the past decade, and like others here, I find their recommendations do better than the wider market. From reading other reviews, I note that the worse the review, the shorter time period the reviewer is talking about. If you don't have 3 to 5 years of MF history in your account, then you haven't given it enough of a chance yet. And yeah the ads for additional services are a little annoying/distracting/unclear, but could be worse.

Lack of consistency, I often notice contradictory comments from your organization's annalist. Some recommend or make positive evaluations of a stock while others, for the same stock, make negative evaluations. Find the error! I find that this presents a poor image and casts doubt on your recommendations. Some time ago I subscribed to Motley Foll Dividend, but I cancelled it because too often the recommendations were for REITs, not much else to choose from.

The assortment of Motley fool newsletters is my primary source of investment research. Motley Fool has done very well for me over the years. When I finally figured out I had to hold my investment “forever”, I realized the value of good research of quality companies.
I like the addition of the podcast so I can listen to them while driving.

I have made significant returns on many motley canada recommendations and still have more that are unsold. Yes I had some losses too but I am way ahead. Jim Gillies rocks it all the time and Ian Butler is awesome as well.

I like the tips and suggestions given on Stock Advisor. They have been very helpful.

I feel that Motley Fool does too much "money grabbing" though and sends a lot of spam email about their other services, and creates redundant services. Dividend and Hidden Gems should really be a part of Stock Advisor since they are all essentially advising on stocks. But separating them into different packages it makes Motley Fool seem greedy about grabbing subscription money when really, don't they already make enough money off their stock portfolios? It is also a bit offensive and insulting to current subscribers of Stock Advisor to be approached with redundant services.

If it wasn't for this point I would give them 5 stars.

Very pleased with the Motley Fool services. I still use a personal broker too, but have used some of the advice I get from the MF newsletters. Their analysis is not too deep, but they provide enough to guide me to new stocks to consider. Their track record of results is solid, which is the most important measure for a stock advisory service.

I’ve used Mot

I am generally happy with the Motley Fools Stock Advisor .My only true criticsm is too often they recommend the same stocks over and over ,surely there are others that could be recommended to give more variety. I have a small portfolio and it does seem I get more from watching the the best buys now over the actual recommended stocks. These have proven to be invaluable as they are more often more profitable to me and far less costly for the initial buy in as I'm old school and like to buy in lots of 100 shares or more and keep a smaller overall number of stocks. That being said I have done very well with they're help in the last few years compared to my mutual bank managed funds. Beating their returns by a easy 100% plus per month.

The Fool is an excellent source of both education and recommendation for investors. I subscribe to both the Canadian and the US based services (Fool.com). However, you need to listen and agree with their overall premise that they are investors not traders. They are serious that their advise assumes a 3 - 5 year holding period. The recommend businesses not stocks.

I have been a member of various services, including Stock Advisor Canada, Hidden Gems and Dividend Investor Canada, for a number of years. I have been very satisfied with the level of information that I have received during that time, which has helped me learn about new companies and become a better investor. The lead analysts are very knowledgeable and they help make investing interesting and enjoyable. The value received from the different services is excellent.

The main purpose of my subscription with Motley is to have access to a team of advisers to better control my investments. At first, I was hesitant to join Motley Fool but over the past 4-5 years I have grown to appreciate each member/adviser.
Currently, my portfolio is down as most investments have been lately. Selling half of my investments at a near peak would have been a good strategy.
The subscription fee is reasonable when purchasing at a discount price, however, not so good when paying full price given the amount of money currently in my portfolio.
The bottom line, I enjoy following the Motley team!

Overall I'm happy with the service. The subscription price is very reasonable and I have made a decent return based on Motley's recommendations. The thing I don't like is being bombarded with a new service almost on a monthly basis. I have actually subscribed to many of them as at times they represent sectors that I'm interested in. However, there are many overlapping in recommendations among these services and there was this one time that I found I already own all but one of the stock being recommended in a newly subscribed service. Also because of these many subscriptions, the number of stock that I owned and the number of reviews/recommendations are so overwhelming that it almost become a full time job (I'm a retired person). So I stopped reading emails from Motely touting new services. And I also decided that when my current subscriptions expire, I will just stay with the three basic services, Stock Advisor, Dividend Investor and Hidden Gems, and may be one or two extra, maximum.

Excellent buying advice, not so good on the selling side. I have had several multi bangers (Paycom, Shopify, Acuity Ads, Fulgent, NVIDIA) but for the most part, missed selling on the peaks.
One quibble I have is that I often have difficulty separating the paid advice from the teasers and then when I try to find the teaser tip on the service that I have paid for and to which the tease belongs, I can't find it. I will continue with Stock Advisor and will pick up Hidden Gems next year.

A must have for investors, for a cheap price you get detailled cie reviews and lots of informations. They offer
Extra niche service if it is your needs. I cant find a good reason to not be a subscriber for the years to come.
