Motley Fool’s “interesting” ads
NO ONE CHALLENGES OR VALIDATES THE CLAIMS OF ADVERTISERS …. HAS ANYONE CHECKED THEIR MATH?
This is a real example of a big advertiser for investment advice.
MOTLEY FOOL "ALL IN" STOCK BUY ALERT
From January 1, 2022 - THIS IS THEIR CLAIM!
They say, “The “ALL IN” buy signal has happened only 92 TIMES in the history of the Motley Fool Stock Advisor”
The AVERAGE return of the stocks selected with the "ALL IN" buy signal is 635%
This CRUSHES the S&P 500 buy 4.5 TIMES
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES
AMAZON 21679%
NETFLIX 32389%
NVIDIA 7514%
BAIDU 1685%
SALESFORCE 3587%
TOTAL RETURN FROM THOSE STOCKS 66854%
AVG RET FOR THESE 5 PICKS 13371%
Now this is where a nerd like me is just curious, those are pretty impressive results for sure!!!!
So, the MATH says that the TOP 5 PICK RETURNS (66,854%) DIVIDED BY ALL 96 PICKS = a 696% average return.
The AD states that the “average return for ALL of the “ALL IN” BUYS IS 635%
THEREFORE THE "OTHER" 91 PICKS HAD CUMULATIVE LOSS OF -61%
SO MOTLEY FOOL “ALL IN” IS WRONG 91 OUT OF 96 TIMES OR IS WRONG 94.79% OF THE TIME!!!
Does THAT type of successful advice work for you?
By the way, they ran the same add on July 1 of 2021 with the same stock and similar claimed returns. Their math was the same as I’ve shown, they brag about being right in just 5% of their overall announcements!
