The Motley Fool

[Hard-Deck]

I haven't read them in at least a decade; since the days of the Foolish Four.

Is it worth my time to delve again?

[LakeCleElum]

Not worth you time IMO....I gave up a few years ago.......

They have done well historically but as of late I think too many people have discovered them. Once that happens, quality/reliability usually goes in the tank.

Lenny Dykstra's stuff is proving to be frighteningly reliable as of late though. . .

I thought their appeal changed for the worse when they got heavy on the internet.
I don't suppose the 'Dogs of the Dow' stradegy is still used.

Thanks for your advice everyone.

So, if I want to now point my 20yo son in the direction of learning about the market and the Fool is out; what's the suggestion?

tell him to call up Vanguard and ask for all their booklets on how to invest. It's free; it's good and he can keep them (unlike the library books).

After that, he can go to the Library and read A Random Walk Down Wall Street.
