    My brokers moved on from darts to cards

    I don't believe Motley Fool would beat VAS after fees. Just ask Warren Buffet Who's winning the Million Dollar bet so far?

    The point is, investing the $5k will be a much better way to use the money. Buy VAS if unsure.

    Not advice.

    PS I don't believe Motley Fool offer's the method to construct a fully diversified portfolio making the implementation of their advice higher risk.

    If I'm feeling down I love watching the video promo for Motley Fools Everlasting Income product. Funniest thing I've ever seen:D.

    Yes they do. I am not a fan of Scott Phillips. His Portfolio service has returned 8% over the 2 years it has been running. While the ASX all ords has returned 21%. But you cant judge by short term results for a long term strategy. Another Fool portfolio, Fool Pro. Has given outstanding returns they have achieved 91% return over 3 years, while the all ords have returned 23%. I have achieved more by going overweight on more solid companies when share dropped and underweight or buying at lower prices on more dubious ones. The advice by Andrew Page on Dividend Investor was poor he had poor insight and the shares dropped by more than the high dividends paid. If you only want to buy a few Shares the Advisor service is good for learning and getting some ideas but you must be skeptical. The knowledge from the discussion on the forum is worth the subscription there where some very smart people there with good advice, though some did get ****** and leave.

    I've seen a couple of articles like this on the fool over the years, the clickbait obviously works as I think "okay, I'll have a look" :D

    How to try and turn $200 a month into $34,000 lifelong passive income with ASX shares

    $200 per month, okay, thats lower than I thought, maybe its $200 over 40 year's at 9% or similar :confused:

    Sounds good to me, in fact lets bump it up, $200 per month is rookie number's :D

    Hang on, what happened to only needing $200 per week, now I need $40k to start with, where did that come from? :eek:

    We've now also gone from a diversified portfolio to a single stock :rolleyes:

    That stock has done well over the years looking in the rear view mirror though

    I knew I shouldnt have opened the article
