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!

Zacks is Awesome!
May 7, 2021

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.

Zacks trader portfolios are extremely valuable
February 9, 2022

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."

My Zacks Ultimate Customer Experience
March 19, 2021

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.

Zacks Research provides me with a nice edge!
August 3, 2021

"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."

Excellent in-depth analysis

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.

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.

Zack's Value Investor is Excellent
January 17, 2022

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.
