Is zacks.com legit?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
ZACKS is legit. Generally speaking they will provide little information to get you good results. I would avoid them. I'd rather use Zacks than any full service broker recommendations. Full service brokers are reactionary and following them will do more damage than assistance.

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?
