@sigint.....MF had been receommending RFG for as long as 18 months ago. I subscribed for one year but the nonsense recommendations (should have only taken one... REA) turned me off. As you say, an inebriated bystander would have done better than 99% of their recommendations and as far as I’m aware, they were recommending RFG for the best part of a year and were still recommending when I left MF approx 6 months ago.
Its a pity that one doesnt have access to the MF forums because most of my posts would have been about RFG, the lack of a moat, the experiences of a friend who was a franchisee etc. I wonder if any one else can shed any light on when they stopped recommending RFG, and the price and the reasons when they did. Subscribers would have lost a small fortune. I think they had RFG in the Dividend Investor category of MF. Not much good if you pick up 7% on the div, and lose 57% of your capital.
