Motley Fool Australia’s ‘Shall I slit my wrists now?’ article modified after breaching ASB code

Financial investment e-newsletter, Motley Fool Take Stock, has been condemned by the ad watchdog for its ‘Shall I slit my wrists now?’ article, which was sent to its subscribers.

The e-newsletter, which was sent out on April 19, has been described as “poor taste”.

“The publication is for a financial services company and is an email publication to members about financial advice and information. The Board noted that the issue of finances and money is a topic that can cause stress for many members of the community,” the Ad Standards Board said.
