Motley Fool

Pros: colorful commentary, news, mock portfolios, etc
Cons: not enough time to read everything

I first found out the Motley Fool through a book I found at a library written by the co-founders - the Gardner brothers. After reading the book I became more interested in the market and started listening to their radio show and I absolutely loved...

Pros: Friendly and useful message boards, solid trustworthy advice on picking stocks, numerous tutorials for all types of financial areas, tons of strategies for every type of investor, great portfolio tracker
Cons: New investors might be overwhelmed with the wealth of information, but I doubt it!

I became Foolish in 1996 and have never looked back since. The term "Foolish" is actually a clever way of identifying those investors that buy and hold for the long term. Because some people consider buy-and-hold investors "foolish"...

I've been using the Motley Fool as a tool to get investing ideas since December 1995. In those days, the best place to access "the Fool" was through AOL. Today, all internet users can access their free web site equally.

I stumbled across The Motley Fool web sight a few months when i was out surfing around looking information on investing. I tell you, this site is well put together and is very informative. They have some of the best people who will answer your questions...

Pros: Fun but informational, worthwhile
Cons: Not everyone's cup of tea.

As an investor, I've always been turned off by the big money websites which always seem to pander to the top 2% in income. I don't ever want to own a BMW and the idea of living in a snobby enclave turns me green with disgust. I am perfectly happy with my...

Pros: Good, easy to understand info.

I have seen the Motley Fool in my local paper from time to time. Most of the time I enjoy reading the articles and have been impressed with the limited amount of jargon they use.

So, when I decided to try and learn more about stocks and...

Pros: They make investing fun!
Cons: what could be bad about making money?

If you have any interest at all in investing for your future...(and if you don't, check your pulse) you must visit the Motley Fool website. It has been very enjoyable watching two brothers, who started out just offering opinions on an AOL message board,...

Pros: Wealth of information, message boards

I first encountered the Motley Fool many years ago when it was an AOL-only service. I poked around it, but much of it seemed over my head I wasn’t motivated enough to really learn what they were offering. There seemed to be a general excitement about...

Pros: Good, practical advice in an easy to understand manner
Cons: None

Motley Fool is the grandest example of a useful financial web site that actually gives out relevant financial information and research. When looking at the other web sites, I always have to wonder whether the creators of the site have a vested...
