1. Motley Fool Rule Breakers: Platinum

Motley Fool Rule Breakers: Platinum is a service bundle from The Motley Fool, LLC.

Selected Premium Services included with Rule Breakers: Platinum include Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Beyond, Fintech Fortunes, Future of Entertainment, Marijuana Masters, Next-Gen Supercycle, Trend-Spotter, Blast Off, and Rule Breakers.

The Premium Services provide recommendations for buying stock in publicly traded companies on U.S. and foreign exchanges. The Premium Services will recommend a collection of stocks up front and later send occasional updates about those or other stocks, and may include ongoing coverage or additional recommendations.

From time to time, we may change the features, offerings and Premium Services included in your Rule Breakers: Platinum membership but we will provide you with advance notice of any material changes. You may terminate your membership at any time pursuant to the terms of your subscription.

All services and features provided by Motley Fool Rule Breakers: Platinum are provided “AS IS.” The Fool assumes no responsibility for the timeliness or delivery of any content or the deletion or failure to store any personalized or customized settings.

The Motley Fool is not in the business of rendering personalized or individualized investment advice. We don't (and can't) know your financial situation, risk tolerances, or investing objectives. Accordingly, the information provided along with the decisions made and actions taken by the Service do not constitute a recommendation that a particular portfolio, framework, security, strategy or action taken is suitable for you, or any specific person for that matter.

The Motley Fool and the writers will not be liable for any investment decision you make, or action you take based upon reliance of any material you read here. The Motley Fool is a company of investors writing for investors and as such, the writers (and/or the company) may own stocks mentioned by the Service.

Please note there may be occasions where Motley Fool Rule Breakers: Platinum takes a position with respect to a security that is counter to that of another Fool Premium Service.

A Word of Caution

The Service may use a mix of investing strategies within the portfolio. Regardless of the action taken by the Service, it is in the capacity of a responsible investor and not a speculator. That doesn't mean our trades will always turn out to be winners. It means that we have done our best to do our homework and consider the inherent risks before pledging our money. We urge you to do the same.

We want to help you make money. We also want to provide you with a more enriching and useful experience along the way. So while we may ask you a few questions to help direct you to portfolios and other content we think may interest you, The Motley Fool is not in the business of rendering personalized or individualized investment advice. We don't (and can't) know your financial situation, risk tolerances, or investing objectives. Accordingly, the information provided along with the decisions made and actions taken by the Service do not constitute a recommendation that a particular portfolio, security, strategy or action taken is suitable for you, or any specific person for that matter.

Companies recommended by the Service may operate in industries that are prohibited under U.S. law, and may trade in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and on exchanges outside the U.S. All of these factors can increase the risk of investing, and in some cases may involve legal risk to the investor. The Motley Fool strongly urges caution when considering these investments, and encourages you to speak with your own legal counsel before investing.

The Service bases its recommendations and forecasts on techniques, information and sources believed to be reliable in the past and cannot guarantee future accuracy and results. The Motley Fool and the writers will not be liable for any investment decision you make, or action you take based upon reliance of any material you read here. The Motley Fool is a company of investors writing for investors and as such, the writers (and/or the company) may own stocks mentioned by the Service. For more information about writer disclosure, as well as a list of places where you can view stocks our writers and analysts own, see our disclosure policy.

2. Portfolio Services

Motley Fool Rule Breakers: Platinum gives you access to one of The Motley Fool’s real money portfolio services, Motley Fool Marijuana Masters. The Portfolio Service is funded by The Motley Fool, and any realized gains or losses will belong to the Fool.

The Portfolio Service must complete their transactions within a specified period of time (see the individual Portfolio Service for the exact time frame) but in no event can an action be taken prior to alerting members. In other words, we will not act without first telling you.

If you’re new to any of the Portfolio Services, we encourage you to review the individual services and learn more about their methodologies and strategies before committing your own resources. Please don't just mimic our actions. The Portfolio Services employ different strategies of varying degrees of risk, and you must determine what you can afford and tolerate in light of the risks involved.
