Zacks Investment Research

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

Relentless emails/harassment. This company will not leave you alone even when you ask them to be removed for their email list every day more emails they never stop. If a company can't honor their word then I definitely would not invest with them

Little value and once you are on their email list, it will never stop. I've clicked on the "unsubscribe" link many times. I've had email discussions with them where they tell me I will be removed. Yet spam email continues to roll in.

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.

This so-called "stock research company" has revised its ratings as many as 5 times within one week on several stocks that I own. If they are at all knowledgeable about the companies that they are rating, why do they change their ratings so many times in such a short period of time? What events or trends have occurred that compel them to change their ratings so frequently? As is the case with all of these so-called "stock research" companies, they are not required to explain the actual reasons for their change in rating. I am not a subscriber and have no intention of being one. There is something very fishy here. I just looked at the other reviews here, including those of subscribers, and almost all of them are "poor". How does a company like this remain in business when they have such a terrible reputation?

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..

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.

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.

Zacks Ultimate is great! I really like the access, the stock choices consistent with portfolio objectives, and the market perspectives. I've made many successful investment decisions based on Zacks advice.

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.

-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 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.

With Zacks Rank System I get a good orientation to find the right stocks for me. That gives confidence in trading, thank you!

I prefer trading options. Because of the tax law in my country I do only work with selling options. That opens up more flexibility to my trading. For me, Zacks Rank #1 or #5 give an idea of the direction of price development. If I sell options on the picked underlying Zacks Rank stock I gain an additional advantage because of the spread between stock price and option strike price. That means, even if the underlying stock won't make the expected move or even slightly moves in the wrong direction, I am still able to earn premium.

So, thanks for this beautiful Zacks Rank System!

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.
