You're right. You had to be with the Fools for a long time to take advantage of their great call on AOL and the like.

This year has been terrible for them but they don't shrink from the blinding light of day. I'm sure they get their share of criticism and crying when their picks go down so much.

It's a very tough public business and I think you have to have a very thick hide.

"Agree about the Fools. Good open forum, honest discussion."

Yes, but their show seems to be more for beginners. You are right about the Fool's stocks. i caught a few minutes of the show weeks ago...before the worst part of the drop, and one of the bros said he was down (as I recall) 45% at that time...by now that is probably 65% or more. They like to buy these technology stocks, many with no earnings and some with lots of debt...recipe for disaster in a downturn.
