I do use Morningstar. But like any other "service" I avoid their recommendations and seek out (only) general information. There's really only two ways to make money in stocks;
A. Make your own "picks".
B. Develop great risk management techniques.
Using these two talents together will give you a better chance at beating the market than any "paid" service.
Zacks has been around for 30+ years. Legit company.
That does not mean that they can predict the future, or that I would expect their list of stocks to double.
DRYS - tough business right now as there is a huge oversupply of ships. I see no urgency to buy.
Probably not. You should only look at reports on your full-service broker's website.
Avoid stocks that are "set to double in value" as that is a 99.47% chance you are being scammed.
Zacks.com recently issued a publication of the 5 stocks they think are going to double in value: http://woas.zacks.com/adv/5s2d_201404.pdf
Can anybody else's knowledge corroborate with their prediction of DRYS and do zacks.com have a history of profits?
