I used to like Motley Fool and thought they had a better perspective than most. That waned through to about 2015 when they seemed like a million monkeys typing on a million typewriters. In 19Q4, they wrote that Dream Global REIT was an excellent dividend stock for for retirees. The problem is, they shut off the dividend 90 days earlier. They literally didn't even check the dividend before telling people to buy it for the dividend. The company turned off the dividend when they were under buyout offer from Blackstone.
I saw them early on in researching stocks because they were everywhere with articles. Some is good (but not great), some is nonsense. All of it leads to GIMME MONEY!
And you can never avoid the incessant "rare double down" news pumps for subscriptions. If it was so rare, why do they show up in ad placements everywhere, every single day all day?
Motley Fool is good for limited information and opinions. They tend to print and reprint the obvious. How many times can you read that Coca Cola pays a good dividend? You have to use your own filter. Just like every other website, you shouldn't buy everything they say to buy.
A random number generator will produce the winning lottery numbers, every week. You just have to know which numbers to use and which ones to throw away.
