KEY Features:
- FOOL IQ
The most powerful tool we’ve ever created for researching companies. Fool IQ+ offers a snapshot of each company and its financial highlights, quant projections on a stock’s estimated risk and returns, comprehensive access to historical financial statements, advanced charting, and more.
Note 1) Great to have a tool to research companies but - to be honest, isn’t that why we pay The Fool?
- PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES
Cautious, Moderate, and Aggressive model portfolios designed to match any risk tolerance, using stocks, ETFs, and cash management.
Note 2) Saul has this covered
- MONTHLY STOCK RANKINGS
from each investing style as well as across Fool Portfolios.
Note 3) Same Ole Same Ole
- GAME PLAN+
(coming soon!) is your source of financial planning content and tools, featuring our top ETFs as well as tools and resources to support portfolio management and more.
Note 4) Could be useful.
- PREMIUM ACCESS
to coverage, programming, and Analyst Insights from our Fool Portfolios team of advisors and analysts — including Epic Opportunities , a members-only podcast.
Note 5). Well… if someone ponies up the premium bucks then they shouldn’t be all that surprised to get premium access.
- QUANT 5YR
a proprietary rating designed to communicate our conviction in an investment’s ability to outperform the market over the next five years, available across stocks recommended within Fool Portfolios .
Note 6) Ho hum
- THE PGI INDICATOR
an indicator used by some Foolish investors (including Tom Gardner) to gauge investor sentiment and help inform cash management decisions.
Note 7) Investor sentiment is self explicatory via share price and movement. I have the All-Too-Lovely, the bank, and and accountant for cash management decisions
- SIMULATORS
an interactive tool showing the probability that a portfolio would have made money over different time periods while holding a given number of stocks, based on the historical performance of random Motley Fool stock picks.
Note 8) I put Selma Hayek in the darn thing and nothing happened.
- EXPANDED UNIVERSE
of stock recommendations and rankings, coverage and analysis, and AI-driven scores and research.
Note 9). Way too much sugar for a dime.
I am not sure what to think about all this but the comments by folks that received the email have been brutal. Someone needs to perhaps reach out to The Fool and run over the old KISS system. Or something like that.
