From the business
Zacks Investment Research is one of the largest providers of independent stock, ETF and mutual fund research in the U.S. The performance of our stock research recommendations has consistently ranked among the top research firms in the U.S. by independent evaluators of equity research. This research anchors our active trading services, long-term investor services, and powerful resources and tools.
At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. In fact, helping investors find success has been the life's work of our Founder and CEO, who in 1978 armed with his PhD from MIT, hit upon a key discovery:
Earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices.
This crucial finding led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system that harnesses the power of earnings estimates. Since 1988, the private Zacks #1 Rank List has more than doubled the S&P 500.

White trying out their Zacks Ultimate package for a year, I realized most of the advice on Buys are extremely bad timing. Actually, once I started doing opposite their advice I started regaining my losses following their picks. The advice they give is desperate, most of their picks lose 10% to 35% or greater within the first month and then they call to sell the position. This cycle repeats over and over. If you want your portfolio cut in half or less, follow these guys. I have been able to recover my losses by doing opposite their picks.
The Zacks.com is the biggest poison info I have ever seen among any websites I have been to.
When a stock went up a few days, they rated them as strong buy. After 2 days, when the stock goes down 2%, they lowered the rate to 'Hold',
I observed this site 1 months, this happened to the stocks: AT&T, AMZN, CAT...
If you follow them to buy, you will get trapped.
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!
Pure momentum based 'research' based on earnings growth. You can get some ideas from them: their star rankings can be useful if you read them not as recommendation to buy, but as what they are: the 'best' rated stocks are the ones that have experienced the best earnings growth over past few quarters. Prices are high on these stocks they can continue going up or come down even faster (typically), if the optimism is broken.
Don't go for their 'buy, buy, buy" mantras, do your research..
You will unsubscribe trillion times-they wI'll keep spamming you years later. From different accounts. Their research sucks
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
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
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.
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.
Lots of news coverage, which is useful, but their "stock research" is extremely biased. They hide the fact that they are receiving soft dollar compensation from the company for their "research". Companies can essentially "buy" positive recommendations from Zacks, so don't trust what they say
