The Motley Fool

Fools, keep those thanks rolling in!

I wanted to thank Goldman Sachs for doing "God's work". I can't imagine how much worse off we would be without all the great transactions they facilitated that earned them billions in bonuses within one year of needing our bailout.

Nobody seems to recognize that it's also Buy Nothing Day.

A particularly funny article about staying alive on Black Friday: http://www.nbcwashington.com/around-town/shopping/Dont-Get-Killed-on-Black-Friday-73614742.html

I'd love to work at a place like this -- where you actually look forward to going to work.

Thanks, I saw something just for me!

He should have known what he was spending his money on.

Always have a good tax advisor.

TMF does tend to sensationalize things. If anyone is in RIMM for the long haul, they ought to do all right. And after all, isn't TMF always the "buy and hold" advocates? Seems they are changing their investment thesis....along with trying to sell services. Hey, I am all for options trading, do it myself. But we have enough fear going on. Time to think positive!

Thanks for all of the comments and votes. This series names several stocks that are scary for a variety reasons. The polls at the end of each article allow the community to chime in with a vote. Just because one writer thinks RIMM is scary, does not mean that other Fools do. Currently the RIMM poll shows that the community does not think RIMM is ... See Morescary. And hey, that's okay. We love to debate about stocks, and often disagree with each other (thus the Motley part of our name.) But let's not forget the other stocks in the series that our community does find scary. So, no, we're not changing our investment thesis, and this series isn't meant to sell services. It's meant to call out companies that some Fools don't think are great investments for the long-term. It's up to you -- as the community -- to debate us and vote in the polls. Thanks and Fool on!

One more interesting fact...the S. S. Minnow from Gilligan's Island is named after Nell's father.

If you're curious about the global warming reference, here's a NYTimes blogpost by Dubner which explains what happened:

I just love the style and way of the fool.

Al Franken???

Al Franken was on the IRS "most taxes owed but not paid" list for quite a while. I also forgot to mention Charlie Rangel, Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer.

From day one, he was in over his head.

Too bad the owners of the Cleveland Indians and Browns didn't see this first.

What are we going to do next, "ban crime." It's all "feel good" political BS! At the end of the day all this regulation will hurt the consumer and raise costs for the rest of us! When has goverment regulation ever done anything positive? Has the SEC ever done anything positive? I give up, I am going to Detroit to wait in line for my stimulus money!
