Yep. Did the Covid thing. Robinhood and Motley Fool went hand in hand. Seeing red.

Oh yeah, forgot about Ancient Tiger recommendations. Anybody else dip the toe in the pool and lost a foot? Lemonade was the worst.

I did the Motley Fool subscription during that time period. I did ok on a few, but lost all gains plus more on the Lemonade’s and such recommendations.

AirBnB, Fiverr, Coupang, Beyond Meat, Pinterest, Boston Beer, Upstart and the all time best (or worst) as it goes, FuboTV!

Those 2 brothers at “The Fool” are no better than Sam the FTX Man and should be investigated.

I started taking much more of an interest in investing about a year and a half ago and came across Motley Fool early on. Watched several of their videos, etc, and eventually said why not. Can’t remember the package I bought but started paying attention to their picks and forecasts and saw pretty early on how generic their picks were, and some just plain bad. Looks like they’ve made a few hits in their past, but you’ll spend a fortune buying all the bad before you get the one good.

I ended up cancelling on the last day I could get a refund

Yeah i've learned that taking advice from people on this board on stock picks is about as good as using Motley Fool stock picks.

I think anyone with a big enough following can cause a pump cycle on a stock.

Wonder if a market maker owns them? That's probably a better question, then work backward from there. Follow the money... as it were. Also, investigated by whom? The other folks busy stealing from us? Quite the conundrum really.

Spoiler alert, it's a big ole ponzi scheme, run on the backs of legitimate businesses. Wonder how many of those businesses are legitimate though or just govt run/paid entities? Like twitter for example... GLTA

ETA: You may be better served following the inverse cramer. It's a fun follow if nothing else.

As someone in the insurance industry, I wish I would have weighed in on some Lemonade posts. That was a turd from the start.
