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.
First and foremost I cannot express how happy I have been ever since I signed up for Zacks, I think almost three years ago. I have had amazing results with Zacks. I especially like Brian Bolan as his growth portfolios have really paid off for me. However, now that we have been going through a bear market I can't imagine not having Zacks extensive portfolios when I signed up with Zacks Ultimate. I still make the final decision on what I am going to do with my money but with the amazing insight and hard work that each manager provides me through Zacks, it continues to help me through the process of managing without losing. I truly enjoy how each portfolio manager shares their opinions ideas and thoughts, and especially how they have the fortitude to commit to what they do. As of last year I have now expanded the Zack family as I enjoy many of the portfolio managers and their commentaries. I use the S&P 500 as the metric. I currently use the following portfolios: Home Run Investor, Stocks Under $10, Zacks Top 10 Stocks, Insider Trader, Large Cap Trader, TAZR, Alternative Energy Innovators, and Healthcare and Technnology Innovators. I like to invest in the Zack Confidential stocks that come out as well. I also, on occasion, use the email from Jerome and the Research Wizard group. Whenever I find a friend who is interested in managing his own money, I have told them about Zacks. I One of my friends started using Zacks and he is also very happy. I will be forever grateful for having Zacks as my way to manage my money.
Value Investor Intraday Intraday Emails with Buy and Sell Alerts are most useful. When Editor Tracey Ryniec says it's time to buy or sell, you buy or sell. She is excellent. I've made more money using Tracy's work with the Value Investor than could imagine. Some prime examples are ABBV, ADM, PAG, WW, MU.
They upgrade/downgrade stock rating and publish positive and negative news as per the ask from the big market player who pay them for that.
Just like anything else online---------DONT SIGN UP!
I was curious about the service--signed up for $299--thougt it was for a year
Of course I have so many activites on my card did not Notise that it was $299 a month
Waht a RIP OFF--for waht stock picks
Lesson is---PAY ATTENTION--I DID NOT__ITS MY FAULT
ONLINE IS A RIP OFF!
In Zacks, you have the invaluable help of high level Editors that make easier to find the best stocks at the right time.
One they downgrade the stock and second they upgrade. It is happening most of the time.
Poor research..
Serves as a useful guide for managing my portfolio - whether to buy a new fund, add to an existing holding, keep or sell a fund.
They are guessing and are lucky when the market go up but $#*!ty when it goes down! A coin will guess better then they are!
I use the Zacks site on a regular basis and am completely happy with it although I don't have a lot to compare it to.
"Zacks Ultimate offers very straight-to-the-point commentary and market insight with essential fact info. Compact, effective information service."
Zacks Top 10 Stocks has been amazing... this past year was record breaking &
2021 is already off to a great start.
Gains in Zacks Top 10 Stocks have generally exceeded 15% average over the years. If it holds, this year will exceed 100%. Congratulations Zacks!"
I just got an email from them about which stocks they advise dumping now (03/30/20) after the market crashed 2 months ago. LOL
Kevin kindly swapped my RW subscription to the Zacks Ultimate package. The Zacks Ultimate is worth it.
Thank you Kevin.
You will unsubscribe trillion times-they wI'll keep spamming you years later. From different accounts. Their research sucks
My Zack's journey began when I felt my modest portfolio could perform better if I was armed with more knowledge & insight to the inner workings of the stock market. That's when I decided to try the Zacks Method for Trading Home Study Course. The information contained within was simple yet insightful, technical but not overwhelming and very well presented. Aside from all the knowledge I gained, I also appreciate that I can follow the course at my own pace and on my own time. I also find it helpful to have the ability to review the materials as needed, in order to better understand the concepts and strategies within. Right away I found myself making better stock picking decisions.
My satisfaction in the Home Study Course also led me to becoming a member of their Investor Services. The cost to join this service was one I was reluctant to shell out, however, based off my satisfaction with their Home Study Course, I decided to give the service a try. This was truly the best investment decision I have ever made! The key to this service is the actively managed portfolios. This puts a handful of professional investors at your disposal, on a daily basis, managing various portfolio strategies. You can find a portfolio that matches your investment style & goals, and begin making those trades right away. The managers make moves in real time, based off what is happening in the world of investing. With text alerts & notifications on your smart phone, you are truly staying on top of your investment portfolio. The commentary and market insight contained in each portfolio is very informative as well. The gains I have seen by the actively managed portfolios I follow & trade, have simply been unbelievable! If you are looking for solid gains (and who isn't) I can not recommend this enough.
Lastly, is the Zack's stock screening tool known as the Research Wizard. With the aid of this program, I have been making constant gains on a weekly basis. This program is so expansive & robust, that I feel I will continue learning all of its true value for years to come.
In short, where other stock subscriptions have left me feeling less than satisfied with their performance, and frankly tired of their barrage of emails that temp me to join yet another one of their paid services, Zack's has not failed me.
My once modest portfolio has seen significant growth during my time with Zack's. And now, thanks to the services Zack's offers, I feel extremely confident my portfolio will grow into the retirement nest egg I always imagined it would be.
Tip for consumers:
Stop wasting money with other stock advisors. Zacks is THE best return on your investment you will find. Particularly the Investor Services.

Market insights from Zacks' key strategists are valuable. It's info from a trusted source.
I am a paid subscriber to Zacks' services. Every business day, they send a summary purporting to show the prior day's performance of the five "Top Movers" in the various portfolios they manage. Today's report of yesterday's performance looks like this:
Zacks Top Movers for Oct 24,2019
Symbol %Chg Portfolio
ALGN 14.70% HCare Innovators
SMAR 10.80% Counterstrike
QURE 8.28% HCare Innovators
TLRY 7.73% Marij Innovators
AEM 6.40% Surprise Trader
S&P 500 0.19%
Zacks selects from the hundreds of positions in their portfolios ONLY those that have advanced; they NEVER EVER show a losing position, even when the vast preponderance of their positions on some days is negative. Then they shamelessly compare their "Top Movers" on any particular day with the S&P500 Index for that day, which of course recognizes both advances and declines of all of the positions in the Index.
Zacks practice of recognizing ONLY their winning positions and totally ignoring their losing ones guarantees them a claim of superior performance -- no matter how bad their actual performance might be. In the real world, anyone who could do that would become a millionaire in short order, with no chance of bankruptcy. When I have asked (repeatedly) that they justify this kind of analysis, they stonewall.
There is more to this story, to be presented on another day.
As far as I am concerned, all of their wild claims for useful guidance in the markets is pure hogwash.
Keeps me up to date and informed. It also helps me navigate solid investments and speculative ones.
I follow their analysis, I lost. Going against their analysis would have worked better. Stay away!
Zack Ultimate Commentary is a good summary of thoughts from several smart people!
