The Motley Fool A comprehensive investment resource for small investors. They say their "purpose is to inform, educate and amuse the individual investor." The Fool started in August of 1994 when Tom and David Gardner first put a small, self-published magazine called The Motley Fool on America Online. They have grown since and have their own website and partners, but their amusing and irreverent attitude remains.
