Rule Breaker Port News After launching in August 1994 as the original Fool Portfolio, it's bittersweet to see the Rule Breaker Port close its doors. But the strategy will live on and thrive at the Fool. We simply are no longer keeping the strategy tied to real money because our current stock-picking content competes with it and we have new content plans on the near horizon. By Jeff Fischer (TMF Jeff) February 18, 2003 As The Motley Fool announced today, we will be closing our real-money portfolios, which include Rule Breaker, Rule Maker, and Drip. When we started the Fool Portfolio in 1994, we were the only ones in America publicly managing money in real time, with full accountability, and announcing trades in advance. We still are. We're proud of it. So why close these pathbreakers down? We begin to explain why in today's letter from Tom and David Gardner. In this space, we'll delve deeper into what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what the future holds. The nuts and bolts of the matter are these: In two weeks, this portfolio of stocks will no longer be presented and written about as a column. The portfolio and its past columns, trades, and returns will remain on the site, in archived and mothballed areas, but the portfolio as an entity will end. The Rule Breaker strategy will live on in future columns and Motley Fool research products, and it will continue to be discussed on our boards. So, the strategy itself (and its information) will remain "live" on the site and in our writing. Only the real-money "basket" of strategy stocks is being closed.Rule Breaker Port News ... fool.com
