RE: Motley Fools Again24 Jul 2018 08:03
The free site in Motley Fool is populated by various freelancers. It shouldn’t be too surprising to learn that different people (with differing risk appetite etc) have different opinions.
It is true that for every positive article there seems to be a negative one, which can be confusing to some, but I would much rather have a set of differing opinions to mull over than to live in a one-sided bubble!
As it happens, I first encountered SXX through an article on the MF site, which is why I now own some shares. The paid-for sites are a little more consistent as they are written by staffers. They always have to state at the end of any article whether the have any position on the share written about, presumably so that people can factor in whether there is any real or perceived bias at work before decided how seriously to take the opinions expressed.
