Just for balls going to start buying Motley Fool newly recommended picks (sometimes I guess they are re-recommended picks) when they recommend them. Will buy smallish positions and see what happens. Today's are LGF (26.26) and WETF (9.51) with SPY at 187.25.

Louetta, They might be all great picks but you may have to wait 10 years to cash in. Motley Fool makes Mr.Market look like a day trader.

On paper buying IDXX (131.91) and CRTO (32.31) based on today's recommendation.
Previous picks all up CGNX (4%) SHW (3%) LGF (21%) WETF (16%) NOV (4% plus the spinoff which I'm too lazy to calculate). SPY at 197.38.Comment

Where are you finding these recommendations? Thanks.Tim - Retired Problem SolverComment

The ones I've mentioned here are from their "flagship" service Motley Fool Stock Adviser. If these don't suit one might prefer the Motley Fool SuperNova service or Hidden Gems or Income Investor or Inside Value or Rule Breakers or the Million Dollar Portfolio. I'm not pushing Motley Fool, just trying a controlled experiment. Even if they do well here one wouldn't know what happens in a bear market.Originally posted by mimo_100 View PostComment

As I said I'm trying to conduct a controlled experiment here. Per the results I posted yesterday CGNX and SHW are up slightly, in line with the S&P. LGF about 18% ahead of the S&P, WETF (which Ernie said he owns) 13% ahead of S&P. NOV is ahead modestly including the spinoff of DNOW which makes calculations messy.Comment

Very sad day for those who loved her. Coincidentally, her name, and a few other women came up while we were discussing cupcakes and ponies at the 19th hole the other day.Tim - Retired Problem SolverComment

re: motley fool
mimo, I have a very basic subscription and they constantly send me e-mails. They're legit but my investing style and theirs don't exactly mesh. Mostly I check out their picks and buy if I agree with their assessment. Not enough action for me as they usually hold all picks for multiple years. They have a good track record especially brother David.

Thanks Billy for the info.Originally posted by billyjoe View Post
Members receive 2 stock picks each month, typically on the 3rd Friday of each month at noon. One pick is chosen by Team David and the other by Team Tom.
In my research, I found that Team David's performace is better by a wide margin than Team Tom.
As you say, this is a long term (3-5 years?) buy and hold service, as I found in my esearch.
You can find a lot of the individual recommendations from the Stock Gumshoe.Tim - Retired Problem SolverComment
