Rule breaker last 5 yrs returns are much worse than stock market

by saneinvesting1 , Aug 14 '02
Pros: An entertainment company, just minting money by selling books and services to "loyal" followers
Cons: Too afraid to compare last 3 yrs, last 5 yrs data on a regular basis
Motley Fools does not share their last 1 year, last 3yrs, last 5yrs, last 10 yrs data for Rule Breaker strategy. They only share YTD and "since inception" data. Which is misleading to most of the investors. Rule breaker portfolio is essentially the...

Are you foolish or Foolish?

by fixitwoman , Sep 11 '01
Pros: Wealth of financial information at your fingertips. Excellent at removal of troll posts on boards.
Cons: All message boards must be threaded or unthreaded. Hard to find most boards.
I've always considered myself to be money savvy. I clipped coupons, bought generic brands and lived by a budget. I stumbled across Fool.com when another website offered to pay me to become a member of the Fool. Pretty savvy, huh?

Pros: Great information, stock quotes, commentary, timely.

Good site. But watch out for the Fools!

by sandrock001 , Jun 18 '01
Pros: A comprehensive source of news, information, and tips every investor should know.
Cons: Lack of objectivity at times. The Fools give tips like the Wise they abhor.
This supersite, in my opinion, is one of the most comprehensive source of credible financial tips on the Net. While tips abound everywhere--with some sites giving higher quality content--the abundance of information in one web site is really appreciable...
