I had been looking at Motley Fool for some time, trying to decide whether or not I should purchase a membership. I have RRSPs with an investor but i was looking at doing some of my own investing with my TFSAs. I had read some reviews from people who liked their advice and others who were upset because the picks they had recommended did not pan out. I was ok with that because no one can predict the future and there is always going to be a risk. So eventually I purchased a membership and was looking forward to accessing all of their knowledge and advice.What I found and the reason I am writing this review (something I NEVER do) is that almost every time I rec'd an email of something I was very interested in, if i wanted that info I had to pay more money! Recently with all the markets down, I have looked at this as an opportunity to buy some under valued stocks, so when I rec'd an email about an upcoming on-line briefing (April &/2020 I think) I was very excited, it was exactly what I was looking for! Well....... after I watched the video and scrolled down the screen...........if I want access to this info........you guessed it, it could be mine as a member for the extra special fee of about $900.00. That was it for me!I have been in sales/management for over 25 years and what always bothered me was the ones who would bait you in the door for what seemed to be a pretty fair deal but would then begin to hammer you with all the extras! This is main reason that some sales people gave themselves such bad reps and have consumers on edge when making a purchase. There might be some really good advice here and maybe I am missing out on an opportunity but out of principle I will not pay any extra fees!I guess I am out!Dave Summers.
