Hi Folks,
This is my first post having stumbled onto this board through my membership (5+ yrs) of MF Rule Breakers. My initial impressions of this board are very positive. I have taken the time to read through Saul’s KnowledgeBase (all 3) and found them to align with a lot of my thinking and approach to investing. To date I have been fortunate to invest in the following RB recommendations :Shopify, Mulesoft, MongoDB and The Trade Desk. The RB membership has had a materially positive impact on my family and I. However for the first time since being a RB member I have invested in a stock not covered by them and would welcome input from members here on there thoughts of this company. They are called Livongo and I really like what I have been able to read about them. Have reviewed there 2 ERs as a public company and read their conf call transcripts, even read a little about them on SA. To my mind they are a screaming buy, thus I bought them.
I look forward to any input from members of this board and thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.
Take care, Johshaw

Welcome to the board. I’d suggest typing this in Google: “site:fool.com “Saul’s Investing Discussions” lvgo”. That’s the easiest way to search these boards. You should find at least a couple useful threads going back a few months.
Good luck.
Welcome to the board, and thanks for your info about LVGO. I would respectfully suggest that you avoid tying any particular paid publications to any particular stock recommendations in a post. We need to respect our hosts. Not everyone with a membership that gets us to the fool boards subscribes to all the pubs.
Welcome aboard.
Here is a good start:

Many thanks for the links Stocknovice and Piertravlr and please accept my apologise Ibuildthings, I did not intend to cause offense. Understand the point you have made and will respect that for any future posts.

In his defense, I would point out he mentioned that LVGO is NOT a Fool recommendation to his knowledge (at least with his RB subscription). He gathered his info independently.
So in this instance he is completely innocent.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Sure, if you ignore the four RB recommendations he listed out two sentences earlier

You’ve been around long enough to understand that “old” recommendations can be mentioned (per Foolish tradition), although there is nothing written on that. And those “old” recs are commonly mentioned around the Fool. Typically, the request has been that a new rec not be revealed within the first month. Caveat: The written write-ups associated with the rec’s are never shared.
And… in case you’re wanting to point out the premium sidebar “Shhhh! Revealing Recs Is UnFoolish”… I was the one who asked that sidebar to be placed on all the premium boards. The intent (although not expressed in that writing) is as I just said. I suppose I should try to get the sidebar updated…
Let me shock everyone here by saying it again: Shopify is an RB rec! Since 2016! More than once. First rec up more than 2000%. And although I don’t often say it…it’s well worth the subscription price to sign up with Rule Breakers and Stock Advisors.
And it helps the Fool pay the bills for free boards such as this.

If I was the Fool, I wouldn’t want lists of active recs being shared on free boards, but you have the TMF user name so I will defer to you as I’m sure you are more knowledgeable about how the rules work.
That being said, I won’t be sharing lists of active recs anytime soon because I don’t think the Fool would want me to. Maybe four is few enough that they don’t care but I don’t know where the line is, so I will play it safe

Ha, “pay the bills”. Put a number on this. If Saul’s board were to go away, what would be the cost savings to TMF?
Users are under no guilt to pay for a “free” board. This is a marketing issue. If TMF didn’t think the “free” boards were justifiable, they would be gone in a heartbeat.

For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.
Please let us END THIS THREAD. It has veered completely off topic.
To Johshaw,
Welcome to Saul’s Investing Discussions.
Since you already invested in Livongo and studied it to some extent, why don’t you present what you have found so far. It would generate a much more fruitful and stock-specific discussion.
My monthly “For Board Newcomers” lists how Saul and this board likes to see new stock presentations, https://discussion.fool.com/to-newcomers-and-all-others-34376426….
