Struggling I don’t know why

For some reason I was struggling with three things.
All answered thoroughly with a good clear explanation. Well done by Lianne.

Reimbursment

I have been with Motley Fool previously and had a great experience with them.

I joined again last year and my membership was renewed automatically. I missed the email informing me of the renewal.

I contacted them immediately and they reimbursed me the next day.

Thanks Motley Crew. 😊👍

Your predictions are generally spot on though some of them didn't do well. I believe you generally focus on small cap market. Do you intend to cover mid and large market as well?

A great service for investors!

I have been a customer of "The Motley Fool" for several years, and I have been very impressed with their service.....down to earth investment advice, in simple language. Well worth subscription fee. I would have continued, but I need to leave because of health reasons....also, at the age of 79, I do not have the physical and mental energy to be an active investor. However, I would strongly recommend them, to anyone who wishes to actively manage their portfolio. Congratulations guys! You are doing great work, especially for amateur investors like me. I have profited greatly from the advice you gave over the years. Keep it up. I wish you all the best in the future!

Great advice

I've been following the advice provide in a number of Motley Fool products over the past ten years, or so.

Pros:
Great returns
Cons:
High pressure sales techniques become tiring

Wow that was professional!!

Wow, the Customer Services Manager responded to my emailed questions promptly, fully and got me setup in no time! What a FOOL I've been for not joining sooner.
Now for the real test - will I make money from their recommendations?

Good service, trustworthy company you deal with

I’ve found Motley Fool’s service useful and good value for the subscription price. Having a different investment approach means that I no longer require this service and the cancellation process was simple - something that is not so common. Thanks team.
