Review of OFX


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

on-line application "accept/load" limitations

I had difficulty getting your on-line application format to accept/load. As happens with many such formats, the algorithm writer thought that he/she had covered all situations - WELL THEY HAD NOT! and foolishly they failed to add the "else"code-option to cover unforeseen situations (like my situation was). In short, you need to add a capability for the application to "accept/load" the document with added information (for human interpretation?) ..... 13/14? Oct/Sep? 25
I found a "work-around" and it worked OK.
I'm unstoppable! Lol! (and a long-time satisfied customer)

The only reason I didn't give you 5…

The only reason I didn't give you 5 stars is that I don't want you to get complacent - Lol!

As I tell anyone who will listen, you guys are the best in the business .. and you probably know that already

You provide lots of good leads and I pick and choose from among them .. doing my own "due diligence".

After about 20 years of very satisfactory Foolishness (US & AU) the only slightly annoying things have been the excess number of e-mails, a bit too much "preaching to the converted" and excessive "marketing".

How about employing a bit of AI [21st Century technology!] to avoid sending some of this excess stuff to long-standing subscribers?

It seems that today, you are about to fix some of these problems with a new format ... good!
I can live with (ignore) the "preaching" and "marketing"

Keep up the good work and make me even richer!
Cheers.

ps. I'm amazed by the number of subscribers who read of your
"buy good stocks/ETFs and hold forever" philosophy, then get upset about short-term results! .... C'est la vie!
I'm down about 11% right now too (quite normal annual volatility) but I'm up nearly 200% over the past 5 years. That secure 3x gain suits me nicely!

pps. I see that the "conspiracy theorists" are out in force among the posters here
Rather a lack of supporting evidence though ... and improbable theories ... as usual!
