Of course, the flip side is that we got 2 of the 3 from Saul and didn’t have to pay for it.
Good grief! Some one has to pay for it…without financially supporting the FOOL…there is no Saul’s board for pete sake.
Come on people…how do you not support the FOOL with all that it has given you with this very platform??
I use RB…it has identified many of your stocks well before the first post on Saul’s……TTD and MDB are just a couple examples.
I also use our Slack board but I will continue to support the FOOL…because it is about the platform and all that it has provided.

If you’re a Stock Advisor subscriber, check your email from early this morning. I cannot comment if it was part of any other subscriptions as SA and RB are the only ones I subscribe to.
It was kindly pointed out to me and then I located it in my own deleted items folder.

Hear hear, Duma! Preach brother. It’s downright immoral to take from this blessed company and not kick in the relative pittance of a sub.

I have subscribed to various MF newsletters for a decade. That guidance, along with what I get to read and laugh about on this board have made my investing decisions way better. Thank all of you and the Motley Fool for all of your help and knowledge! I am always waiting for the down-turns in the market just to get on this board and giggle at the negative comments as I wait patiently for everything to head the normal direction.

Hydemarsh, you can’t do that. That is giving away the recommendations. You know better than that and you are endangering our board.

" … didn’t have to pay for it"
I subscribe to SA and have received many times the value in good advice. It is worth it, even with some of the “rode to the bottom” losses. But even if only to subsidize this board where you get the advice of folks like Saul and other hard-driving investors with proven track records, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE. If ever the TMF people decide to scrutinize the boards, I want them to be happy with what they see here.

If I can’t find out how much it costs on the website, how can I subscribe?

Thanks qc.
I’m sure many if not all of you view it the same way I do - whether I need the SA/RB subs or not, I’m gladly paying for them as long as this forum exists and probably forever, period. Let’s send a strong message of support to our gracious hosts! Thanks Saul.

Lucky Dog, something about your phrasing makes me wonder if you think there is a subscription to TMF itself. There isn’t. Free boards are just that, free. But, TMF offer a whole list of premium services. Two of the more popular are Stock Advisor and Rule Breakers. If one subscribes to one of these premium services, one gets several things one does not get without such subscription. These include:
-
E-mails about recommendations relevant to that particular service, which can be buy this, sell this, best buys now, or more general commentary.
-
Web site presentations of a similar flavor, often pointed to by the e-mails.
-
Boards specific to that service appropriate to the theory of that service.
-
“Premium” boards which one must subscribe to one of the relevant services, but which might be shared by multiple services. The premium Tesla board, for example, is one such.
To me, one of the most valuable aspects of the premium services is the boards it gives one access to.
Incidentally, I recommend that you google"
site:discussion.fool.com discount “name of premium service”
to find deals on the subscriptions. While most of the subscription fees are quite modest and easily worth while in terms of return on investment, many of us are still happy to get a discount on any fixed costs.

I did a quick Google search on Fool sale price or something like that.
This link came up.

I’m all about saving money and that link shows prices at half off.
Fool on,

If?
I can assure you this board is not operating in the dark and the TMF people are well aware of the goings on here.

No, I’ve known about the paid services ever since I joined TMF a long time ago, just didn’t see the value of it since I had done very well using my reading skills and other investment publications for many decades before getting here and I have continued with that.
Saul has enlarged my view on a variety of different stocks and I value his wisdom, expertise, his calm temperament and careful study of the individual stocks.
So, hearing that he gathers knowledge from a MF service, piques my interest in them.

For those of you that require hard evidence of the Fool’s Advisory value in addition to the above
testimonials rearyiii using data from marco has created a backtest of David’s and Tom’s Fool picks
on the mechanical investors board. Buying and holding all the picks from 3/11/2002 till 1/11/2019
would have resulted in a 11.92 compound annual return compared to the S&P500 of 5.98%.

rgearyiii’s post and the thread:
https://discussion.fool.com/marco-very-kindly-sent-me-his-histor…
Note: Robbie shows a 19.6 CAGR by adding additional post discovery momentum criteria to the
Gardner brothers picks, the 11.9% results are without any other selection criteria. In Robbie’s
terminology the Gardner brothers have not been torpedoed.

I admit that I started this thread, but I think that 23 posts on it is ridiculous. Let’s cut it off, and get back to discussing our stocks. Thanks for your cooperation.

Hi Saul…
I have noticed that Tom and you have some of the same stock picks…made me wonder if he comes here! Have met the brothers and been following THE MOTLEY FOOL almost from its beginning.The early days were wonderful…chat rooms for specific industries, etc.
Am a Stock Advisor subscriber, too, for several years. STJ
I am a member of SA and RB, and I didn’t get this dispatch either. I hope it can be retrieved from the Reports section or the like…
