Is fool.ca Legit?

Reason for leaving,Aside from the fact Motley Fool Dividend Investor Canada and Premium Hub offer little for advice beyond what can be found online for free and in the newspapers, also Motley Fool makes canceling service very difficult.

Their aggressive upsell tactics started the moment I subscribed as well. I thought I was buying into their complete program only to find out that it was the most basic with little to no info. Then came constant emails to spend more on the juicer information. I receive more emails in a day for upsells than I do for good information on stock picks. I agree that it's a disgustingly greedy and self defeating tactic.

Stories written about investing in dividend stocks for retirement both for AQN and NWH-un.to were repetitive and stopped after a collapse. Just how good is the information really… None of the articles are news and the opinions are not good either. Based on reading the articles on yahoo finance gives me no confidence in any opinions that may come from this source. And yea if you get a few right thats not a good average or excuse the massive failure on all the other stories.

MF provides some great annual and monthly recommendations. The lack of timely updates when things go wrong for stocks is a concern. It's also very frustrating to constantly see teaser Ads about "the great new stock that doesn't seem to have revealed to current users. Also, the additional services like SaaS provide even less updates, and my experience with both I've tried has been dismal.

Overall good service, absolutely trustworthy even if not always correct in the long run.I would prefer not to have as many additional opportunities for new/overlapping services, all for significant prices.I strongly suggest that you install a service that permits users to dial up past MF comments on any stock they are interested in, rather than just the stocks that MF features at the current time. Even MF comments that are a few months old would be useful.Thanks for your efforts. Keep up the good work!

Overall very good! Certainly better than the fund managers that previously held my money for ten years with minimal returns. I don’t invest in all of their suggested companies, but the 12 to 15 that I did buy shares in, have done well. Like the FOOL suggests, do your own research and due diligence before committing to buy any shares. I will continue to subscribe to “Stock Adviser” & “Dividend Investor”

I have not subscribed so I cannot provide feedback on that service but I do see the MANY articles that show up on sites like Yahoo Finance. Question for Motley Fool ...how am I suppose be confident in any of your articles when you take every position possible? Then when the 1 out of the 20 positions you've taken is correct you say "look, we were right". At this point I just want you to go away so you stop clogging up the space for reviews I would like to actually read. If there was a way I could filter your reviews from my financial site feeds I would gladly do it.

very dishonest and confusing their experts just listen to the business's new channels and then advise people they don't have any credentials. They changed their position five times just on Air Canda over a two months period one day they claims that it is the best stock, next OK and then it is the worst, common make up your mind

Is there a rating less than 1 star? I took a membership on Stock Advisor for one year. I can't describe how disappointing it was. There's absolutely nothing useful there. The content is often outdated and simultaneous reviews by Motley writers contradict each other on a regular basis.Get ready to be heavily spammed for more of your money upon joining. There will be a barrage of messages and emails telling you about "once in a lifetime" opportunities....blah blah blah. Reviews follow the same tired scripted format over and over. You get a loose review followed by the usual blurb about Ian's "winning formula". Take my word for it and save your money for a membership with a "real" stock review site with in depth stock analysis.

The subscription service is a scam in my opinion. There is no way to cancel the annual review from within your user account, I emailed twice asking to cancel my subscription. Both times i received an auto response saying they would respond to my request within 48 hours, but I never heard back. They then charged my card the auto review rate. It's incredibly frustrating that they don't have a self serve option to cancel a subscription and the ignore you when trying to contact support to cancel.

Their agressive upsell tactics started the moment I subscribed to stock advisor. You buy it,and then they make you feel you didn't get much, and that you need to go onpaying. It's a disgustingly greedy and self defeating tactic. I'm canceling my subscription.

The Motley Fool has been instrumental in my wealth strategy. Remember Nortel Networks? Waaaay back in the day they were going gang busters, stock doubling etc. the Fool was the only stock analysis firm that looked through the smoke and mirrors and told members to get off the rocket. Reliable and smart analyzers.

Motley provides good information and analysis on stocks. They provide timely updates especially when markets change. Very helpful for perspective on the markets. Complaint would be the number of services and options for stock advice. Once you get on the the mail list you are never lonely.

I certainly will not renew my subscription. You are amateur stock pickers. The stocks you recommend they are very risky. High beta, negative cashflow, negative earnings and high P/E ratios with high debt. You pick high risk hi reward stocks. This is not investing ,this is gambling. Thank God I did not take your advise in the last 2 yrs. How can you call yourselves stock pickers.

Currently subscribe to Stock Advisor Canada (since 2015) , Dividend Investor (2017) and Hidden Gems (2020). These are all excellent value for money services for me. I've also had Pro (until it was suspended), Blastoff and Rising stars. I cancelled Blastoff and Rising stars after trying them - these two just didn't meet my investing style but no fault of Motley Fool. The cancellation process for those services was very smooth and staff were quite courteous. By using the info from the services and putting in the work, I've been able to achieve above average returns (and certainly better) returns than I would have been able to get myself.

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.

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.

Great service for new ideas. However you still need to do your own homework to ensure their recommendations fit for your portfolio / investing style. It's a good forum for investors, but not suited to those who need more hands on guidance for portfolio building.

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've followed Motley Fool advice for a few years. During the 'good times' the advice has been good. My criticism is in not seeing that high flying growth stocks would be hit as hard as they have been, and both continuing to recommend purchases and failing to recommend sell (eg. Shopify, Zoom).
