Late last month, one of those Fools, gameguru, succinctly summed up the bear case for our community:
I'm an Angie's list subscriber, and I find a lot of value in their service (both the reviews and coupons). However, this is NOT a business built for big profits. It is more akin to Consumer Reports than to any of the social media companies it has been lumped in with. ... Sure, there appears to be huge room for growth (what if they covered every city with over 100,000 population?), but it is unlikely they would get enough subscribers to make it worthwhile in these smaller areas, so their user base is ultimately limited.
If you want to retire rich, you need to protect your portfolio from any undue risk. Luckily, we've found another growth play we are incredibly excited about -- excited enough to dub it "The Only Stock You Need to Profit from the NEW Technology Revolution." We have compiled this special free report for investors to uncover this stock today. It is 100% free, but it won't be here forever, so click here to access it now.
