    Hate Motley Fool, although I gotta say, FOOLX has done better than I'd thought it would.

    When they came out with FOOLX, Motley Fool had a lot of persons angry with them, because the expense ratio was sky high. They recently lowered the expense ratio, I'm sure due to pressure from shareholders and perspective shareholders.

    It was very hypocritical of them to have launched the fund with a sky high expense ratio, having criticized high expense ratio funds for years.
