I joined Motley Fool’s stock-picking service back in 2021. Here’s a list of the stocks they recommended. I didn’t buy all their picks every month, only those that fit into my budget whenever I had an extra $1,000.
I’ll admit, they did suggest some big names like AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, and AMZN, but those feel like pretty obvious picks.
A few friends and I split a Motley Fool subscription in 2019. We mostly stuck to their high-rated picks, except for one friend who only bought what he felt was safe. Ironically, he lost the most.

Imagine actually losing money in the stock market since 2019. Sure, there was volatility, but the market did very well overall.

Isn’t the whole idea to buy exactly what they recommend, evenly across their picks? Supposedly, a few winners cover any losses.

Motley Fool feels like a paid version of Jim Cramer—almost guaranteed losses.
Unless you do the opposite of what they say.
They’ll put out one article on why AMD is a great buy, and another saying to avoid AMD. They cover all bases so they can highlight the ‘correct’ advice later.
