  The Motley Fool has been leading their followers to financial demise as of late. The MDP their star portfolio is down a whopping 46% with some positions down 80% + - A shell shock for those who paid $999 for the premium service. The Fool have been touting the Buffet way for years to gain investor confidence in subscribing to their service, the MF's dire performance is presently tarnishing the Buffet name and discrediting his stellar strategy with rotten picks. Would Mr. Buffet be a buyer of the MDP picks? That is the million dollar question, if so, at what price? Certainly not at the price touted by the Motley Fool to its MDP subscribers. Another question, is how much of the Fools marketing is pure hype and that of an irresponsible service to average investors who are puting their confidence and hard earned money in the MF services hoping for a safer way to play the markets. Beware! MDP is not as rosy as its made out to be. For many Foolish investors the $999 subscription was followed by sharp pain, one that is far from having instant relief.

  The MF is irresponsible and misleading.

  Ummm, in case you haven't noticed, *nothing* is on the upswing right now, unless you're talking about from their current lows. If that's the case, then perhaps eveything is on the upswing. But for those of us who currently own any of these stocks, it's been a bad news ride down. I, for example, an down 73% in EXEL. I suspect I'll have to wait a long time for this to look like an upswing for me.
