Zacks Investment Research

Yes they will start charging you immediately even though they said they don't do that. These guys are just a bunch of scammers. And they send a lot of junk mails too along the way so you wouldn't realize that they actually charging you for those sh"ts. I don't know how the regulators haven't shut them down. Worst bunch of pseudo-newsletter ever. Stay away from them. I still have an outstanding issue with them as they owe me a full refund for those unlawful, unauthorized subscriptions.

I have been a customer of Zacks for several years. It has been a good source of information. Definitely love it. Nicholas (Nick) B. Is the expert whom I always go to. He has been a wonderful help. Should you have any questions, I would recommend you contact Nick. He'll have answers for you. The mobile app could be more user friendly, that's true. I've seen a big improvement since I started using it years ago. Look forward to seeing more of it.

"I traded about 10 years ago, and didn't know much and basically lost it all. I gave up until about a year ago, but painfully lost again. I came across Zacks and decided to try out the trial. Within days I was hooked, buying the recommendations and reading the commentaries, which by the way is my highlight of my day. You guys are awesome and damn good!
Within about two weeks, one of my stocks hit a100% gain. I was ecstatic as the most I've seen before Zacks was maybe 10%. So yes I joined Zacks without hesitation. Just want to say Thank You to all the people involved. You all do amazing work.
So far this is life changing for me so Thank You in a big way!"

Over the last 12 months, using Stocks Under $10, Options Trader, and a few in-depth writeups, I have a gain of approximately +428%.

I started trading 5+ years ago, and was caught up in penny stocks - get rich mentality. After losing most my nest egg, I decided to try using a service to help. I ended up choosing Zacks and have not been happier. I've learned a lot over the last few years I've had the service. Not only did I get guidance, but I've also gained a much better understanding of what to look for in a stock, trading options, and the stock market in general.

Zacks is my No. 1 data source for fundamental data. Actually their website is always open on my screen. I am a professional technical investor, and any initial buy decision is always after crosschecking Zacks research. The ""premium screens"" are very helpful in filtering out what I look for, and the daily email alerts as well. I have been a ""lifetime"" subscriber for eight years, and I never did regret it.
When my time allows, I scroll through their website and am always surprised how rich their content is.

I signed up for a lifetime subscription to their nonsense many years ago. Within the first few months I started losing money and noticed some of the following comments with their sell recommendations:
- the bounce that I was hoping for did not happen
- my gut feel on this stock was not right
Their recommendation philosophy it seems like is based on hope and gut feel and it does not get any worse than that.
Since then, because I could not get rid of my lifetime subscription, I started watching their recommendations (and I get all of them as a lifetime member). This is purely for entertainment purposes. I can see that they have atleast 2 to 3 times more losing trades than winning trades and the losing trades lose by a much much higher percentage points than their winning trades.
I can't understand how these folks are allowed to stay in business and continue.
I honestly cannot recommend them to anyone.

"I use Zacks seven days a week. Mostly as a crosscheck to stocks I am considering. This also includes a crosscheck to stocks recommended by editors of Zacks services, my favorite of which is Surprise Trader because his selections blend well with my short-term holding pattern, but then, too, the Value Investor and Income Investor services are helpful with my longer-term selections. Zack's system is a complete tool for serious investors."

I tried zacks for a while... they had a couple of decent stock picks. Overall, too much information. Their outlook on their picks change too frequently... so be sure to do your research before diving into one of their picks. One week its a strong buy... next week its neutral.

[Income Investor Editor Bryan Hayes is] doing a great job. [He explains] what trending numbers and issues mean rather than just saying what the numbers are, i. E. "In another positive sign, the VIX Index (-4.56%) fell as stocks rose. It's a step back in the right direction after a move higher earlier in the week. A continued move lower is desirable, and if we can break the earlier low in August, stocks could really pick up steam. Normally, lower volatility and a downward-trending VIX coincide with rising stock prices." A VIX@ -4.56% doesn't mean much to me, but it does now with your explanation. Thanks! Those underlines aren't guess work, that's professional interpretation in my view.

That's what I appreciate. Keep it up!

Zacks offers a 30 day trial without automatic renewal (I was
Careful to check that), but in fact they do start charging your
Credit card and while they will refund you for 3 months automatically
When you find out, if you miss seeing charges past 3 months, which I
Did, they will not refund you those charges. What is worse, is they
Do not provide real trade information, it is just "fantasy
Picks" by in-house guys and include low volume stocks so risky
In terms of getting out. Once I saw that I never used it again. For
Me they were running on the reputation of Zacks earnings estimates
Which are real and used by Nasdaq.com,
But are evidently made by a separate Zacks division. Total waste of
Time and money for me, but I bet they are making money off of this
Scheme.

If you amortize the cost of a Zacks Ultimate Lifetime subscription over the rest of your investing life, it's an unbeatable value at just a few hundred dollars per year or less. I've found a couple of portfolio managers (managing five portfolios between them) whose aggressive growth-oriented style I love and who've made me a lot of money the last few years that I wouldn't have made on my own. And the beauty of a lifetime Zacks Ultimate subscription is that when I'm ready (i. E. retired) I can switch to following the recommendations of the income-oriented portfolio service and this won't cost me a thing.
