Zacks Investment Research

"Zacks Ultimate provides easy access to investment ideas that are already filtered, narrowing candidates for my own assessment. After years of being an investor, with your service I finally started to beat the index. I had started to doubt individual investments and instead just buy the index. Well now that idea is on hold!"

I have been through many thousands of dollars and different companies that promise to make me rich. I have never met anyone else besides Nick, who is my dedicated Zacks Ultimate Sales Rep, who has done what they said they were going to, followed up, and knew exactly what he was doing. Zacks Ultimate along with help only a phone call away are highly recommended and have changed my portfolio and helped me to better my training and understanding to make a better financial life for me. I can't thank Nick enough, because he is extremely intelligent, helpful, alert and attentive. You really want to work with Zacks, all the best!

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.

-The managers of the various investment profiles inside Zacks (home run, value, income investors etc.) don't listen to their own website recommendations, i. E. they buy stock that ranks number 4 or 5 and sell stock that ranks number 1 or 2. Many times they keep stock in their portfolios even when ranking drops to 5. How do you expect investors to trust zacks score rank if your own portfolio managers don't follow.

-The rank scores (1 to 5) feels random sometimes, i. E. you might have a core =1 (strong buy) for a stock that has sub-scores of F for all criteria of value, growth, and momentum. The opposite is also true with stocks ranking at 5 while scoring A for all criteria of value, growth, and momentum.

-I have not made any significant gains by following the rank scores nor any of their portfolios.

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.

The Zacks Research Wizard, has been a great tool for my personal investing. Price and Fundamental Charts help me see how these variables affect each other. Enabling me to identify winners at an early stage. I've had great picks like ROKU and SQUARE before the rally.

If you can get 30 days of the Ultimate service for $1, do it! I've seen many negative reviews from people who simply didn't know how to turn off auto-renew after trying a trial period. And then they got charged. (Zack's makes this point clear when you sign up. You will be charged if you don't cancel.) It couldn't be easier. Go to "My Account", go to "Orders" and turn off auto-renew. Done. And you can do this the day you buy the trial. You still get your 30 days. They actually allowed me to sign-up for a "30 days at $1" deal four times! Then they told me I'd reached my limit. That gave me four months to look at EVERYTHING. Once you're in, I suggest looking at the various portfolios you can follow. They are actually very transparent. You can see every stock a particular portfolio has bought and sold, and how much money they made or lost on each one. You can even go back and look at results from previous years. (Once you're on a portfolio page, click on "Performance.") Each portfolio is run by a stock analyst, and they each provide regular updates on their portfolios, explaining why they are buying or selling a particular stock. The service isn't cheap. But try the $1 offer and click around. Look at everything. If you come to the site to buy a few random "Strong Buy" stocks here and there, you will fail. There's a lot more to investing than that. But the $1 trials are well worth it. (I did eventually buy into the service. It's only been a couple of months, so I can't say too much. But so far, I am having more success than when I was picking stocks on my own.)

What I can't understand is companies saying - "sign up and you get everything we have to offer) and then once signed up they try to sell you more stuff. Having said that so far Zacks has been pretty good and after a month or so it has returned my investment. They really have got this sorted - I took out a trial subscription to Motley Fool at the same time but I thought Zacks information and analysis was better for what I wanted to do (swing trading) MF is better for long term holdings which wasn't for me.
Well done Zacks and if you hadn't tried to sell me the ultimate solution in finding trades you would have got 5 stars

Have been using both the Zacks Research and Portfolio Management group for about 9 months now. First it helped me make some good money so that's where it should start and end. However I love the way the portfolio managers write their daily notes providing, assurance when things go bad, being realistic to define exits and helping stay in the game for big gains. I also like the personal touch they bring and even reading at times makes it look conversational. Today I just buy based on message triggers and read the details later because now I feel comfortable with the quality of research and the judgement of the portfolio managers. While am less than a year with Zacks but am excited to keep this relationship going and growing. Cheers.

I have been interested in share dealings for quite a few years but have been with Zacks only a short time, since July 2020 actually. I started reading about how to go about finding your preferred trading strategy but being a very impatient man i did not go through it all. I subscribed for the newsletters and decided to work on the recommendations therein. I have found them to be absolutely fantastic. It is not possible to invest in everything so i chose those that I like best. To date this has turned out fantastically well. I have tried banks' wealth management and private fund managers but was never satisfied. In a few short months I've had a 29% increase in my portfolio. No one has ever given me this return. Thank you Zacks

I've had the Zacks Ultimate service since June 2020 and follow several of their investor services. This has paid for itself several times over already. The knowledge gleaned from following the portfolios and trading style of their portfolio managers is invaluable and saves a lot of time and effort of doing your own research and there are portfolios to suit all tastes. The general market coverage is excellent and keeps you plugged into what is going on and they have videos each month from their investment managers covering key topics so you get to know their staff well. I can unhesitatingly recommend them

Zacks Ultimate Commentary keeps me most updated on thoughts from your editors. I find this very useful since things change daily. I have had more successes than failures. That's the name of the game and keeps me coming back.
