Works for me
February 25, 2021

I've been a Zacks Ultimate customer for several years and find the variety of services very useful. Getting 2 or 3 outlooks from different perspectives helps me form my own and gives me a lot of ideas for stocks to research further.

White trying out their Zacks Ultimate package for a year, I realized most of the advice on Buys are extremely bad timing. Actually, once I started doing opposite their advice I started regaining my losses following their picks. The advice they give is desperate, most of their picks lose 10% to 35% or greater within the first month and then they call to sell the position. This cycle repeats over and over. If you want your portfolio cut in half or less, follow these guys. I have been able to recover my losses by doing opposite their picks.

Very Reliable Analysis/Rating site
April 12, 2023

Zacks Ultimate Commentary is valuable because it comes from people who see things more clearly than I do. I also like the Screening options and unlimited access to all the ratings. Research Wizard is also very helpful

In my first month as a Zack's Ultimate subscriber, I have taken all the trades on most of the Strategies that have been offered. I currently have 27 open positions that exceed my subscription cost for the full 6 months I have enrolled in. While it's only closed positions that add to your wealth, I have confidence that the next 5 months will create what so many other Financial Strategies and Newsletters have miserable failed to do. That being to create a positive consistent cash flow. As of this morning, in one month, I show a 12.7% return on the money invested.

Pure momentum based 'research' based on earnings growth. You can get some ideas from them: their star rankings can be useful if you read them not as recommendation to buy, but as what they are: the 'best' rated stocks are the ones that have experienced the best earnings growth over past few quarters. Prices are high on these stocks they can continue going up or come down even faster (typically), if the optimism is broken.
Don't go for their 'buy, buy, buy" mantras, do your research..

Essential for trading and investing in general
December 16, 2020

I read the daily reports from several of your portfolio services, use their recommendations and find them extremely useful in my trading. The money invested in Zacks has paid off many times over during the past few years. I also profit from the monthly sessions on the market.

Registered for trial yesterday and then received an email about auto-renewal after 1 month trial. Called up customer care and took 2 mins to cancel and also received confirmation email (Although I have to check at end of trial to make sure am not charged). But customer service was courteous and straight forward.
W. r. T site data, its not bad but its not amazing, you get what you paid for :)

I joined Zacks thinking It was $300 a year. Which is way more than I wanted to pay or could afford. The next month there was another $300 charge. Its apparently $300 a month. I bet there is very few people that actually pay the $300 a month. Bet they get 90% of their millions by hiding important information in the fine print. So unsuspecting $#*!s like me pay 300 two times before they realize Mr. Big $#*! Zack just broke it off in your ash. They can suck the back of my d twice.

Beware of FREE TRIAL
December 1, 2021

They tell you it is a free trial and then send so many emails that no-one could possibly read them all, or want to. Redundant non-information with lots and lots of requests to purchase other services. Buried in those hundreds of emails is a renewal notice that I didn't look at because once you have read one of the emails, in my opinion, you have read them all. Offer is free? Until the renewal notice comes, then YOU must cancel or be charged. Make sure you don't delete the many useless emails without viewing them first, you will want to locate the renewal.

Best Investment I've Ever Made
March 1, 2021

I first tried out the 30-day trial of Zacks Ultimate and noticed excellent returns, enough to convince me to subscribe. I have just completed my first year of subscription to Zacks Ultimate and didn't understand its full value until far into the year. I've used the recommended stocks from each of the Investor and Trading services as well as the Innovators portfolios. Using options for leverage, I have enjoyed a +232% return on my portfolio.

Wished I checked around before making the payment. ZACKS Investment Research is a dishonest website. I paid for an online course and the userid and password they provided did not work and they did not send me the book that was supposed to come with the course! Tried so many times to contact them via emails to resolve the issues and there were no replies. However, I keep getting product emails from them but my genuine problem... totally ignored! Don't believe any $1 offer or any sort... once they take your money, it will be hard to get it back! Beware!

Zacks Ranks change daily/inexplicably. Regurgitated newsletters are sent out daily click bait, scam-like. Tried their service for 6 months hoping it would get better - it didn't; they weren't willing to provide a pro-rated refund for the remainder of the year. Stuck with a service I won't be using. Stay far, far away.

David,
I was NOT familiar with this stock at all.
Upon reading your recommendation, and then looking it up on Zacks.com, I put in a bid for 100 shares@ $17.58. I've been watching go up and up since!
Your recommendation, as usual, is "money."
Thank you very much for your helpfulness and expertise.
God bless you,

Having access to all strategies in Zacks Ultimate will broaden my investment horizon. I also use Zacks.com to monitor my portfolio, especially upgrades and downgrades, and earnings estimate revisions.

I subscribed to Zacks services with two specific objectives: increase my performance and reduce working times. Both achieved! An average of +50% profits YoY and only a few weekly hours of financial and technical analysis.

Investing with Zacks
July 14, 2021

"I have made quite a bit of money using Zacks Research Wizard. I am not good at finding good stocks to invest in on my own and this tool makes it easy. I made 160 trades last year (2020), a record for me, using the Rank2 strategy. The majority of the holdings I had for 2 weeks or less and profits ranged from +1% all the way up to +101%. I only had 6 losing trades."

Thanks so much for the June Zacks Ultimate Strategy Session and the logical, calm and technical approach you have, and share, with regard to the market with your subscribers. It hasn't been an easy 2022, but you're doing a fantastic job and have helped me to implement a balanced approach to investing in tougher times. I've learned so much from the work you do and look forward to more successful investing in the future.

Value investor review.
May 31, 2022

I have followed the Stock Market for 40 years. Investing on my own did not produce great results. I tended to stick with mutual funds. I started looking at portfolios run by reputable firms such as Zacks. The Value Investor fit best with my investment thinking and comfort level. I'm impressed with Tracey Ryniec as she does the research I do not have the time for and is well worth the yearly subscription fee.
