I have been trading stocks since the early 1960s! I have had some good years and some bad ones, but overall, the value of my portfolio has not increased in value much. In the first month of having access to all of Zacks research I was able to see why; much of my equity was tied up with stocks that I continued to carry waiting for my 'hot stock tip' investments to recover. With Zacks research data I was able to see which stocks needed to be sold, even at their perennial losses. With the money from those sales I was able to buy stocks with high Zacks Rank. My portfolio is healthier and growing well.
