To my investor buds . . . does anyone out there have any interaction/experience with Motley Fool?

I found this group during a search and on further investigation have received grand results re beginner information etc. They offer a 30 day trial membership which I am interested in but am looking for feedback from anyone who has participated. Thanks.

Once I wrote in a forum, that they sponsored, and got a reply from Tom asking me if I would be interested in being a regular writer on their team, but I declined. I used to be a stockbroker with a large firm and I wrote about why I thought the average large stock brokerage firms overcharged for the dismal advice that their stockbrokers, who actually are nothing but overpaid salesmen, gave. I didn't want to get in the middle of a lawsuit with my employer. After-all, they have more money for lawyers than I have. But the threat of lawsuits is how they keep the truth sequestered.
The Motley Fools boys seem to do their homework, but in the end, I haven't seen anyone say that their stock picks are better than anywhere else. Learn why someone recommends something. Don't just place a bet. In investing there is an old saying, "ride your winners and sell your losers". Like many other advice columns, they tend to brag about their winners and keep quiet about their losers.
