Motley Fool - the clue is very much loud and clear.

Don't waste time reading their nonsense!

I use this one https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome
Edit: this is a developer extension and therefore has not been subjected to approval to get in the web store. I generally leave developer mode off unless I want to access a specific site.

Why would you take advice from a 'Fool'. Motley or otherwise? Do your own research and make your own decisions.

Motley Fool was a really useful website in the early 2000s and I learned a lot from their articles (and I've got one of their books somewhere)  when I first became interested in personal finance but they've become far too commercial so I hardly ever visit these days.  Once they shut down their forums I switched almost entirely to MSE.

I've got that book somewhere too. It went on about using index trackers and getting rich slowly. Funny how they changed their tune.
 Seem to recall one of them sold his house and went into rented and was hoping to talk the market down enough to be able to buy back his house for less than he sold it for and have enough to cover several years rent, the inconvenience and still make a big profit. Wonder how they got on?

I recall years ago following a Motley Fool column in the US Sunday papers (Miami Herald was my paper of choice), and then with the internet, getting good advice from Motley Fool US. I also have one of their (Motley Fool US) books somewhere.

When I returned to the UK (2006), I realised there was a UK version. However, as commented by others, I am bombarded on Fipboard with recommendation articles from Motley Fool UK. They all say the same. "If you wear red socks, you should buy THESE two stocks to retire a millionaire", "With recent drops in the stock market, THESE three stocks will recover 100% within the next 2 years", etc. I just checked my phone, and within seconds of flipping through, found the latest fool.co.uk headline: "I can't stop buying Boohoo shares for my ISA! Here's why ...", and not much further down, another fool-co.uk "article": "A 6% FTSE 100 dividend yield I'd buy for my ISA and never sell!"

Utter baloney, I stopped reading their articles years ago.

There is no such thing as a disinterested forum post, but some posts are more useful than others. Likewise, there are more useful sources of investment information than the motley fool.
