  I need to be really down in the dumps over disappointment about stock suggestions. I am wondering if MF is recommending stocks that they own, have pent up demand, and are down in the dumps like the rest of this world. Please fellow investors. Follow me in positive thinking, positive actions, and great hopes for the EV, AI, Tesla, Nvidia, Pfizer, revolution. I still Love You Motley Fool.

  So I joined MF on a basic service, then was bombarded with offers of services that claim significantly better performance then the S&P500 ETC. After careful consideration and reading their growth statements I upgraded my service to Blast off 21, at nearly $2000AUD, and invested a significant amount of money! After nearly 6 months the portfolio is over 20% down, whilst the S&P is 15% up. They state to hold for 3 years for returns, that said the current losses will most likely take at least a year to recover, if they do. When I wrote to them asking what, or if there is a strategy to help improve the performance of the portfolio. I receive an unbelievable response stating "they take no responsibility for the performance of the recommendations", and I am "responsible for the investments", even though the whole intention of the service is to recommend stocks and follow their recommendations to the letter, which I initially did. Along with some statements clearly expressing their legal responsibility. So you will only hear about the wins and the outstanding performance of some of their stocks, but not the losses, and don't expect MF to offer any useful responses to when they don't perform. Of course all companies will state their wins, I completely understand this, but its when things go wrong that the true measure of a company and its customer service will be evident. I also understand that stocks can go down significantly with market swings. But when a service is openly and clearly marketed, and sold on its performance to against another and then fails miserably one has the right to be upset. The most disappointing part was their response to my question. This clearly showed them to be a marketing company and not a true investment advisory company

  Scam: They told people to buy stocks at their highes price ever claiming that the investment was long range but the truth was that they knew they were telling people to invest in the peak of the biggest bubble ever. One example say it all: SHOP down 90% and will probably never (in our lifetime) reach the price it had in 2022 when they told people to buy it Worst 75 U$D I spent in my life and made me loose so many more money than that They cannot say that they did not know Stock Advisor did not advaise on the bubble Thanks for that!
