Zacks Investment Research

Salesmanship is their only strength and that's a compliment. Their figures are worthless but their copywriters are great. They also shamelessly promote a company that sinks 10 days later. Then you find out in the small letters this was paid partnership... they had an interest to convince you to buy. Where is Regulation?

"I traded about 10 years ago, and didn't know much and basically lost it all. I gave up until about a year ago, but painfully lost again. I came across Zacks and decided to try out the trial. Within days I was hooked, buying the recommendations and reading the commentaries, which by the way is my highlight of my day. You guys are awesome and damn good!
Within about two weeks, one of my stocks hit a100% gain. I was ecstatic as the most I've seen before Zacks was maybe 10%. So yes I joined Zacks without hesitation. Just want to say Thank You to all the people involved. You all do amazing work.
So far this is life changing for me so Thank You in a big way!"

Over the last 12 months, using Stocks Under $10, Options Trader, and a few in-depth writeups, I have a gain of approximately +428%.

I started trading 5+ years ago, and was caught up in penny stocks - get rich mentality. After losing most my nest egg, I decided to try using a service to help. I ended up choosing Zacks and have not been happier. I've learned a lot over the last few years I've had the service. Not only did I get guidance, but I've also gained a much better understanding of what to look for in a stock, trading options, and the stock market in general.

Zacks is my No. 1 data source for fundamental data. Actually their website is always open on my screen. I am a professional technical investor, and any initial buy decision is always after crosschecking Zacks research. The ""premium screens"" are very helpful in filtering out what I look for, and the daily email alerts as well. I have been a ""lifetime"" subscriber for eight years, and I never did regret it.
When my time allows, I scroll through their website and am always surprised how rich their content is.

I signed up for a lifetime subscription to their nonsense many years ago. Within the first few months I started losing money and noticed some of the following comments with their sell recommendations:
- the bounce that I was hoping for did not happen
- my gut feel on this stock was not right
Their recommendation philosophy it seems like is based on hope and gut feel and it does not get any worse than that.
Since then, because I could not get rid of my lifetime subscription, I started watching their recommendations (and I get all of them as a lifetime member). This is purely for entertainment purposes. I can see that they have atleast 2 to 3 times more losing trades than winning trades and the losing trades lose by a much much higher percentage points than their winning trades.
I can't understand how these folks are allowed to stay in business and continue.
I honestly cannot recommend them to anyone.

"I use Zacks seven days a week. Mostly as a crosscheck to stocks I am considering. This also includes a crosscheck to stocks recommended by editors of Zacks services, my favorite of which is Surprise Trader because his selections blend well with my short-term holding pattern, but then, too, the Value Investor and Income Investor services are helpful with my longer-term selections. Zack's system is a complete tool for serious investors."

Zacks Investment tools make trading a lot easier. You can get quickly a selection of potential picks with the criteria you want. From there You can work your way to profitable buys with less work and less possibilities of mistakes. Times are not easy. Good results demand quick reactions and the best help you can get.

Zacks research is totally useless. It's analyses of stocks never makes any sense to me. Do not believe anything it says. The reality is that I have always done the opposite of what it suggests and I have always been right.

I recently joined and back tracked most of them and it seems like none of them meet the target price, also, when i called them they said don't trust the target price just forget about it, if it was real we all were not working here in stock market.

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.

Its a lot better than fool.com or SA as lets ads and in general you can find some good basic info, but you can end your search there. Move to other sites or do your own dilligience and you could walk away with some gems

[Income Investor Editor Bryan Hayes is] doing a great job. [He explains] what trending numbers and issues mean rather than just saying what the numbers are, i. E. "In another positive sign, the VIX Index (-4.56%) fell as stocks rose. It's a step back in the right direction after a move higher earlier in the week. A continued move lower is desirable, and if we can break the earlier low in August, stocks could really pick up steam. Normally, lower volatility and a downward-trending VIX coincide with rising stock prices." A VIX@ -4.56% doesn't mean much to me, but it does now with your explanation. Thanks! Those underlines aren't guess work, that's professional interpretation in my view.

That's what I appreciate. Keep it up!

I am a life-long subscriber to all Zacks offers. Last year my 401k increased about +47% in value. YTD as of yesterday +19.11%, so I'm a happy camper so far.
One should however spend time every day keeping up to date with what's happening in money & politics to make informed decisions. But without Zacks services I would most probably have been far less successful.

Zacks offers a 30 day trial without automatic renewal (I was
Careful to check that), but in fact they do start charging your
Credit card and while they will refund you for 3 months automatically
When you find out, if you miss seeing charges past 3 months, which I
Did, they will not refund you those charges. What is worse, is they
Do not provide real trade information, it is just "fantasy
Picks" by in-house guys and include low volume stocks so risky
In terms of getting out. Once I saw that I never used it again. For
Me they were running on the reputation of Zacks earnings estimates
Which are real and used by Nasdaq.com,
But are evidently made by a separate Zacks division. Total waste of
Time and money for me, but I bet they are making money off of this
Scheme.

It is SO HARD to cancel the $#*!ing the subscription that you can't find a button to click on for you to unsubscribe. They claim the analysis are useful, but the 'report' inside the companies are just simple information that people can find in SEC website, accompany with some genetic market overview. Completely trash and try to steal your money away

I would not pay for this service as you can get a lot of the stuff they offer from free at finviz.com and simillar sites. However, the free options can provide you with general information and then its up to you to dig deeper.

Zack Top 10 has made my investing life relaxing. No more research and stress, at least for a whole year. Top 10 was up 100% in 2020... what more do you want! I got my two daughters investing in the Top 10 also. Two weeks into 2021, the Top 10 is up 8%... can't get better than that! Thank you Mr. Sheraz

So for as little as a dollar you get 30 days of access but watch the $#*! out next month as you will be opted in for $299 automatically. Nice site to get basic info on but watch your $#*! if you give them them dollar.

If you amortize the cost of a Zacks Ultimate Lifetime subscription over the rest of your investing life, it's an unbeatable value at just a few hundred dollars per year or less. I've found a couple of portfolio managers (managing five portfolios between them) whose aggressive growth-oriented style I love and who've made me a lot of money the last few years that I wouldn't have made on my own. And the beauty of a lifetime Zacks Ultimate subscription is that when I'm ready (i. E. retired) I can switch to following the recommendations of the income-oriented portfolio service and this won't cost me a thing.

I want to compliment you for the refreshing style, and thank you for your savvy insights. You explain, very well, the rationale for the trades and why you take profits or sell with an early loss. Continue doing your great job of helping us become better traders and investors.

I value the Zacks Ultimate Additions and Deletions because it's valuable cross-check on other investing inputs and my own thinking. Various portfolio additions uncover things I wouldn't have found otherwise. And deletions awaken me to get rid of things I probably would have kept too long.

Sgh stock downgraded after it fell... then zacks wrote some articles and downgraded to strong sell. Then the stock moved in 1 month 55% up and after this run they upgraded to buy. Completely like a fla in thr wind... shame on you

Zacks Confidential hand-selected picks and predictions are valuable features. I trust that hand-selected picks can bring me some profit. I have closed Sterling Infrastructure for a gain of +25% and Vertiv Holdings for a gain of +30%.
