Anybody use Motley Fool?

ummmmmmmmmmmmm no

Clickbait

Yeah, Fools do.

I used to listen to their radio show on public radio on weekends and found it entertaining, but I could never understand why they loved Blockbuster, which anyone with sense knew was the equivalent of investing in an 8-track tape company.

I tried some sample newsletters and such but never paid for anything. It was all a little too much like the "Heart doctor says never eat this vegetable if you are ..."

I used them for years. First year with them I picked up several of their suggestions and got a return of 140 percent from Stock Advisor. I used some of their other services and got hammered.

What I liked about their services is they suggested many good stocks I never would have heard of left to my own devices. Some are winners and some are losers.

Terrible. All they try to do is upsell you on shite. I canceled after a year because it was a waste of time.

So it seems. They carry enough of a following that their recommendations become self fulfilling at least briefly.

I stick with Seeking Alpha because they offer a lot of detailed information and a forum attached to every article too.

I'm subscribed to this. I like it a lot. The articles by the avg Joes i don't care for so much but really like them for research and comparisons when looking for stocks to buy.

The comments forums associated with every article can be really helpful in rounding out the analysis.

Got a free membership that cost me many thousands

I have a paid membership to Seeking Alpha. I enjoy the analysis and the active comments from retail investors.

I think I pay $30 a year or so, but yes it allows you access to more articles/content.
