I have used Zacks Ultimate services for several years now with great success. I find that the various trading styles, level of insight, and of course, statistical success and modeling has translated into solid performance and returns. The ability to get real-time information in terms of texts and email during the trading day is very helpful.
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.
There money back performance warranty is worthless. They refuse to awnser phone or emails once they have your money.The research wizard does not work.
Here is an example of Zack's sucking. Look at different advice for GRPN, just 3 days apart! 10/6 is "Hold to Buy" and then 10/9 "Buy to Hold." Nice work!
Research Wizard is a powerful tool for screening and analyzing. And I have been using it successfully for several years. Actually I just broke even in 2022; however, I regard that as a success, considering the performance of the market overall. I had great results in 2019, 2020, and 2021. In Q1 of 2023 I recorded a gain of 7.3%.
Most of my stock prospects come from screens that I have developed myself. However, I also monitor the Zacks services, and when a new Buy recommendation is made I use the Wizard to evaluate it against my personal criteria. I am a very conservative, value-oriented investor. Of course that doesn't work for everyone, but the nice thing about Research Wizard is that it can be tailored to match a personal investment philosophy.
My value-oriented approach does not often produce spectacular short-term gains—no ten baggers. But I have consistently stayed ahead of the market, especially in the down year 2022. In the 4th quarter of 2023 my RW analysis convinced me to take substantial positions in MDC Corp, and that has turned out well. I still hold 2000 shares, but I have cashed out 5000 at better than a +30% gain on shares held for less than nine months."
ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER - AN HONEST REVIEW FROM THE UK
No matter what skeptics may say, these individuals truly excel, and I speak from personal experience having ventured into various other avenues and faced substantial losses. Last year, I decided to take the plunge with the irresistible $1 offer from Zacks. Not only did I create a diverse portfolio, but I strategically invested in stocks during downtrends, set buy orders for those on the rise, and followed their suggestions diligently. Their daily portfolio updates are second to none!
That said, what sets Zacks apart is not just their expertise but the personalised touch. Even with the nominal $1 investment, I was assigned an accounts manager who beyond just 'being there', generously shared his knowledge and even glimpses into him as a person. Impressed and grateful, I decided to go all in.
With enthusiasm, I requested, "Hook me up with the Ultimate Lifetime," and to my delight, my accounts manager arranged an affordable monthly plan that I promptly committed to. Now, not only has my portfolio covered the membership costs, but it has also generated profits beyond my wildest expectations. Kudos to my accounts manager – he is undeniably exceptional!
Tip: if you don't like the accounts manager you are assigned to, maybe because they don't fit your personality, you can request a change! I did.
The Zacks Research Wizard powerful stock screener helped me find stocks with very fine tuning on specifications I look for. I had great success in 2019 with BMZ (29.0%), FZR (55.7%), GIM1 (28.7%), NH (43.4%). I bought Zacks Ultimate and now follow Jeremy Mullin, Kevin Cook and Danie Laboe.
Everytime I needed help, they were there to help
Zacks has been an incredibly lucrative service for me. Using their rating system, I have been about 90% successful in selecting stocks poised to grow. I use their information combined with my charting techniques to be very successful. For example, their top 10 achieved 36% growth last year. My trading of those stocks gained me 103% for the year... time consuming, but worth it.
Once I've picked a stock and know it by tracking it daily, I use their rating to decide how much I'm going to add. So if it's a 1A rating, when the chart indicates add, I add aggressively. If the stock dropped to a 5C rating and chart says to add, I still add, but just a small amount.
I also find their whispers for earning season very helpful. I don't normally trade on earnings, but if it has a negative whisper, I may lighten up beforehand.
I have also figured out that a 5, which they say is a strong sell, can also just mean underperformed. I trade it with less money perhaps, but I dont delete it from my portfolio necessarily. Often, a stock that I've gotten into and track throughout the year will start as a 2 and drop to a 5, only to come back to a 3... so I learned not to panic when they drop a stock to a 5.
Overall, the small lifetime membership price has paid off for me very quickly. I highly recommend this service.
I regularly use Zacks ranks and broker rating from zacks to help pick stock for my portfolio. So far I have been successful in investing in right stocks.
The Zacks #1 Rank List, Zacks Earnings ESP Filter, Premium Screens and Industry Rank provide information I use alongside another source of stock evaluation to choose stocks to invest in. In the last two years, I have been able to beat the market handily (even this bull market). I'm very satisfied with my results. The Industry Rank and Earnings ESP Filter are particularly valuable.
Having www.zacks.com a click away on my laptop has enabled me to confidently buy securities with promising upside in the current volatile market. Results on recent buys include:
• 78% increase in value on a technology stock purchased 5 months ago
• 22% increase in value on an oil exploration and production stock purchased 6 weeks ago
• 14% increase on another oil exploration and production stock purchased 5 weeks ago
• 2.8% decline in value on an oil driller purchased 5 weeks ago (they don't all go up!)
• 10% increase in value on an oil and gas pipeline stock purchased 4 weeks ago
Combing Zacks' Best Industries rankings for stocks with high Zacks Ranks and scores for Value, Growth and Momentum has made me a believer in their mantra – "buy the best stocks in the best industries." I find the earnings and technical data Zacks provides on securities and funds very helpful for making purchase and exit decisions. Fees are reasonable and offer more value than competitive services I have used in the past. I highly recommend Zacks to any investor serious about growing wealth.
Zacks personnel are highly professional and responsive to customers
I value the Zacks Investor Collection Commentary. More than just adds and deletes, I enjoy the perspective on the market, stocks in the portfolio, and why adds and deletes are made. The ups have been better than the downs! Overall sitting on 18% upside right now. Highlights are sitting on + 500% up on SAVA, and cashed out on LQDT for a +100% gain, and CMTL for +70%.
I liked the Zacks rating system, and all the extras in the way of education, research and analysis.
Wanted to increase my ability to invest in the stock market with better guidance than an occasional hot pick" or best-guess selection
"I'm currently following and adding positions from Zacks Ultimate, including Technology Innovators, Healthcare Innovators and Blockchain Innovators. In 2020 I followed Home Run Investor, Value Investor, Top 10 and Stocks Under $10. In past 12 months, my wife's IRA is up 86% and my IRA is up 56% - this is directly correlated to when I began Zacks. Can't say thank you enough."
I make a lot of money investing, thinking that this investment is really for extra income, I hope next month I will get more profit, thank myself for always investing so much profit
These guys are clueless. I hold a position in Pintrest in my 401k. On 6/18/19 Wedbush advised an "Outperform" for PINS. On 6/19/19 Zack's Upgraded from Sell to Hold. The next day, 6/20/19, Zack's Downgraded from Hold to Sell. Then they again reversed course the next day, 6/21/19, and Upgraded from Sell to Hold. SERIOUSLY? UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN... Monkeys throwing darts would be just as reliable. Avoid their ratings!
Thanks for your help. Your clear explanation and patience in walking me through the steps I need to take made the difference in my grasps of how to get what I paid for.
I subscribe to a few Stock Advisors. Of all of them, I believe Zacks is the best. While not every advisor is perfect, Zacks seems to be spot on in the vast majority of suggestions.
I like money
Awesome investment advice
I use Zacks Ultimate Additions and Deletions as my guidepost from which to select my trades. Recently, I closed two positions in CRWD and PCTY for a +36% return and a +52% return respectively, courtesy of Zacks Counterstrike. Both positions were entered on 1/21 which means that I generated those percentages after only 10 days."
I have had very satisfying results from all of the Zack's Ultimate features and analysts. Each add to my daily knowledge in different ways. Don't change anything, in my opinion. Great staff, and all great at what they do individually and as a team.
Trading and investing is all about having a set of goals, having strategies that meet those goals, and also being able to change our goals in the future and still have the tools available to meet them. Zack's Ultimate has been all of that for me.
Zacks's Ultimate has many different services that cover several different mid term trading strategies, as well as long term investing and a very informative ETF advice as well. I use the Mid-Term strategies I want to target at a given time, to build up some cash, and move the excess into long term investments for both stability and long term capital gains.
I am also a subscriber to Zack's Research Wizard, which is a premium stock screener, that comes with several very useful tried and tested templates, but is also configurable to more values then any other screener I have seen, and best of all, it includes screening on the Zack's Rank as well. I have had satisfactory success with the Research Wizard, in any kind of market conditions.
"The Zacks Research Wizard back testing feature is valuable. I noticed the historical outperformance of Key Measures, Rank5, Breakouts and New Highs versus the S&P and I run the screen weekly. I have taken many trades based on the built in strategies and this has yielded several winning trades. GM, VSTO, MT, SCHN are some examples of ~40% gains over 4-10 week time frames."
"I loved Zacks Ultimate, but right now in my life, I didn't have time to look into all the information it provided. Most weeks I only have time to look into the two or three stock picks from Zacks Confidential - rarely do I have time to read the entire commentary (I love it when I do have time). I've gotten some good performing stocks from Zacks Confidential such as PARR, which is up +50% in just 4 months, CVGL which doubled in a year, and ON doubled in a year, which is a pick I think I got from Zack's Ultimate (before I canceled it). The stock picks that didn't do so well have only lost a small amount, so that I haven't had any real losers from Zack's. I don't blindly accept all Zack stock picks - I look into them, follow price charts, and get in at my price, but the guidance that Zack's has provided me has been very helpful.
Customer service is wonderful; I was most pleased when I emailed to cancel my one month trial of Zack's Ultimate and they let the month run out without renewing.

For the last 3 years I've been following ""to the dot"" the picks made by Zacks Top 10 Stocks and the performance has been superb! To me, Sheraz Mian is one of Zacks' most valuable assets.
Zacks Ranking gives me a quick glance of ranking changes so I can then decide if my portfolio needs to be adjusted accordingly.
I'm a technical trader, but have found that incorporating Zacks Rank into my system has greatly improved my success.
Very fast and responsive customer service.
Its a good place to start but make sure you don't end your search here otherwise you could be in for a shock. Dig deeper
