Zacks Investment ResearchReviews 173

My experience with Zacks has been an incredible ride and very profitable. I have purchased many stock picking services over my 40 years of investing and now I have one Zacks. My advice is go through all your available Zacks services and find who suits your investing style before jumping in. My "go to" portfolios are Stocks under 10$ (my fav), Technology, Blockchain and Top 10. I now count on these gentlemen to do my due diligence which took one to two hours per day after working all day. The text alerts are amazing - I hear the ping read the text and immediately put my buy in, I trust their judgement that much, then I'll read the recap later that night. I recently made 33K on one of Brian Bolans picks SAVA (sorry Brian I sold and took the cash LOL).
I have made my lifetime subscription costs many times over in a very short time and now and will be introducing my son to the service.

I've had the Zacks Ultimate service since June 2020 and follow several of their investor services. This has paid for itself several times over already. The knowledge gleaned from following the portfolios and trading style of their portfolio managers is invaluable and saves a lot of time and effort of doing your own research and there are portfolios to suit all tastes. The general market coverage is excellent and keeps you plugged into what is going on and they have videos each month from their investment managers covering key topics so you get to know their staff well. I can unhesitatingly recommend them

Have been using both the Zacks Research and Portfolio Management group for about 9 months now. First it helped me make some good money so that's where it should start and end. However I love the way the portfolio managers write their daily notes providing, assurance when things go bad, being realistic to define exits and helping stay in the game for big gains. I also like the personal touch they bring and even reading at times makes it look conversational. Today I just buy based on message triggers and read the details later because now I feel comfortable with the quality of research and the judgement of the portfolio managers. While am less than a year with Zacks but am excited to keep this relationship going and growing. Cheers.

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.

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

I opened my trading account on July 9th 2020 with $25.000.00 and as of todays date (2/8/2021) I have just about doubled my money and am showing a 96.75% ROI in my trading account.

I use the screener weekly and follow the daily portfolio updates. I must say that I do not always pitch a stock if it gets downgraded by Zacks as I have developed a set of "stats" that I follow and have made money off of some of the stocks that were downgraded to a #4. However, I am always asking myself; "What does Zack know that I don't?" and like the screeners ability to fine me stocks for my watch list. I would love to have Zack update the screening manual and add some standard screening for ETF's as well.

I went to four different financial advisors to help manage my retirement. All were looking for 1 to 1.5% fees on my portfolio without any guarantee of returns. Each provided many different methods to invest - securities, annuities, funds, bonds, etc. However, I wanted to find an advisor that I could work with as I enjoyed buying and selling stocks, and because I have always felt it was better to manage my own money. That way if it did not turn out well it was my responsibility. I was burned in the past when I had let someone else manage my money. I started my journey with Zacks in 2018 and became a full time Ultimate Member in January 2020. Zacks gives an investor so many opportunities of investing. They have the wealth of experienced investment managers with a constant flow of information and reporting it is amazing! If you want to have low risk the portfolio is available. If you want higher risk the portfolio is available. Each with their own unique strategy. I am currently using Surprise Trader for my cash account. For my Roth account I use Home Run, Less than 10, Top 10, Large Cap, and Tech Innovators. For my IRA I have setup my own investing strategy based on what I have learned from all the resources that Zack provides. Overall returns since joining Zacks in January 2020 has been a wonderful 38.82%! That has beat all the indices. It has been rewarding to know I still decide on what I want to do with my money, but have the confidence that with the power of Zack's methods I can achieve great success.

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.

"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 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.

Best is your Zack Rating. Buying good rating is key. Do you have a service that allow me to "input" a stock name, and you can provide a Zack rating? Or in some cases as "not rated" is fine.
What can improve? Your service is very well classified into many categories and cater for many types of investors/traders... but to a common mortal like us is too many, we don't know how to choose because we dont really know what we want, and we changes all the time haha... eg myself looking for some kind of shorter term swing trade (not day trading) so I/we can be more focus and Not Overwhelmed and frustrated... yet can see some good results in a couple of weeks or 1-2 mths?
