stated in reply to the first negative review of Motley Fool
It's called advertising, it is nothing different than what all sorts of product advertisements do! Whether it's weight loss, hair growth, muscle gain
Motley Fool has all the credibility of a hair growth advert.
My cynical disposition makes me wonder if it's more sinister in that it's real purpose is to intentionally mislead the small investor.
The internet is the home of the scammer and spiv.
The world of stocks and shares is run by ponzi-lite sharks.
Here's their carefully worded recommendation to buy Royal Mail shares a week before their share price crashed.

Mis-selling is their creed.
Any on-line entity with the word "FOOL" in its name should be all the warning you need to avoid at all costs.
Total Scam
It's called advertising, it is nothing different than what all sorts of product advertisements do! Whether it's weight loss, hair growth, muscle gain, a new GM car, or even worse is whole life insurance policies, reverse mortgages, debt-consolidation, etc . . . Of course one can look at all of these advertising programs as scams to a certain degree. Heck, one can even look at the general news media as nothing more than a scam - with each outlet seeming to promote it's own political or social agenda. And this is hardly new, nearly every major US paper going back 50, 100 and even more years was directly linked with a political party, organization or agenda. Ironically, the media doesn't like to talk about this in public ("journalists" were shocked roughly 10 years ago when the New York Times' publisher announced at a media ombudsman event that their first and foremost objective was to promote the liberal agenda. While everybody in the industry knew this was their mode of operation - nearly all were shocked that the NYT stated this publicly at an actual event.) Face reality, when one is getting information (ads and often even news) from the media, TV, internet et al, a large percentage of it falls under the same type of scam that these Motley Fool advertisements do - little bits of truth sprinkled in among a lot of hearsay, opinions, theorizing and simply unfactual and/or intentionally misleading information to promote an agenda (whether to increase sales, support a political or social belief, or promote changes in human nature/behavior/actions).
KTAALGSIO! LOL!!
I just lost several thousand dollars on their latest recommendation, Luckin Coffee (LK). They pumped it a month before it crashed 90% and has since stopped trading due to fraud. Their email said "buy in one minute!" as if they had some inside info. They had none. Their other recommendations are over-priced stocks that have already made their run; unless, you fork over more money for their "premium" subscription and you get more stock picks. They don't tell you that until they've stolen your money for the first subscription. Stay away.
Chinese and coffee? Have you heard of green tea and Chinese greed?
Really???? I see no reference of Lucky Coffee on their recommended lists or other references. Could MF be lacking full transparency? Naaaa ... lol
