This is the third time I have signed up for Motley Fool. The other two times I did nothing although I could have directed some IRA funds at the time. This time I am retired, and I made it a point to start with the basic stock must-haves as keeping it in savings was a losing position. I then added based on recommendations until I reached a total of 30+ positions. I have eliminated some of the singles that were dogging and increased positions in others. Bottom line........I am at a 30% gain in two years. Now, I just review my positions monthly to get current and let it ride. Even if it drops by half, I will still let it ride and may put in some extra cash on some good businesses to dollar cost average . I believe in the value of buy and hold. Motley Fool represents my investing style, and I have no reason to look elsewhere for advice. Fun stuff.
