Yeah, i have a Google Digest setup for specific companies, and every other day it's the same articles from them just constantly on repeat
"If i'd bought shares in RR a year ago where would i be now"

Motley fool is not a pump and dump site, its a clickbait article spam site.
You should not read articles about stocks from a financial perspective from any source. All it is is confirmation bias.
The next issue is lack of conviction, there were thousands of articles saying to buy meta for example, but IMO nobody who makes a decision reading an article, would be able to hold through volatility, because its not your decision, you are copying someone elses idea, when it goes -10%, then -20%, then -30%, then -40%, mark talking about meta verse this, meta verse that.. GG you sell at some loss, before watching it go up 400%.

Its a tip that isnt, the best basic advice just instead buy the FTSE all share or 100 doesnt matter, its out of your hands and worry and its easier to sell and buy as you need to. The story for BT is never ending, it can double for sure but dont do it
UK stocks are too cheap in theory but BT I've had since IPO not by choice but there it sits. My one hope they get taken over, broken up anything its a good definition of a zombie.Recent high 500 was good to sell, tv rights was over hype. Of course sell in 2000 was the true ideal and I swear I suggested yeet those shares but still got them. Share has barely moved in soon to be 40 years tragic, some shares just dont benefit the shareholders
See if RR can break its recent range positively. More ideal it goes back to the 200 day average around 300 then rises but I think its more positive then that; FTSE itself could repeat a range
ITV shares have just jumped up.. I’m still in the red on them lol
God knows why I brought them in the first place, conversation tv is just dead. But they was undervalued even at the time I brought them.
But they announced the sales of their shares in britbox to the bbc and will make 200 odd million which they will use to buy back shares after paying off loans. They may return to their book price then.

Their book value is lower than the current valuation, and that's including intangible assets.
ITV's Value is based on positive cash flow factoring that revenues are decline with a terrible future outlook Vs a 5% risk free yield, I would say, currently, Microsoft is cheaper than ITV its not even close.
I remember reading a flurry of articles a year or so ago about how itv was under valued. But it was a no from me. Not a fan of that model. Had felt like it's dying for ages
St James's Place shares down a third after cutting dividends in half and allocating £426m for client fee refunds.
Such a shame.
Finally their dodgy practices catching up with them...
FCA finally getting them to actually toe the line regards Consumer Duty etc.....
Its one of those people buy and hope it gets taken over.
Trading 212 offers 5.2% interest: what's the catch?
Trading212 has just increased the savings rate to a table topping 5.2%. So should you be moving your money? Well, it's not a true savings account so you need...
youtu.be
Anyone thinking of using the T212 debit card?
I’m thinking of moving my petty cash account to this..
Cash back in spending and interest on money in the account.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not moving my main bank account where all my bills are getting paid and my main spending will still be done on my cash back credit card. I have a petty cash account where I pay myself pocket money fortnightly to spend takeaways, take money out etc.
Just getting interest on the small amount in there is a bonus alone and any money left over after a period of time can go into shares.. it maybe a pain to transfer the money from my main account to this one thou as my main account doesn’t support the account transfer system that T212 currently uses.

I'm glad to see Lloyds bank no longer own them then. The story on some very iffy advice being given out in combination with over charging customers is not uncommon unfortunately
UK market is absolutely shocking.
I've wasted so much time/cash just loitering in it.
Since. Putting some in S&P etf and other US shares I've done much much better. Depressingly so.
Still fear of AI bubble. Had I jumped in earlier... Ugh. Regrets.

I'm up around 20% this year, US stocks will continue to be the best.
Just use a bank transfer.
Ah they pump all the little crappy penny stocks too, there's a guy on the t212 subreddit who's portfoli is basically a copy of thier promoted articles for me from last year down some 39k on a ~40k investment.Motelyfool UK seems to push UK dividend stocks, they can try pumping LGEN or BT but doubt it will occur
I reckon they maybe work if you ditch as soon as they've gone up a bit but I really wouldn't trust them
MF are the worst.
I'm sure some of the content is AI written too.
Not sure if any of thier authors are any good.
Only good tip I got off them was bgeo that I decided to follow up on.
