Self Investors
Wanted
We're looking for a select group of Zacks VIP members to take part in a new pilot program. Step by step, it trains you to discover market-beating stocks on your own. And we're making it available to you at our cost.
Dear Zacks VIP,
As a valued customer, you've been awarded a privilege that is not being extended to other investors in our Zacks.com community.
It's a spot in a new pilot program that empowers you to find market-beating stocks on your own.
Without waiting for tips or picks from anyone.
You won't need to attend a single class, workshop, or seminar. You'll learn to do-it-yourself in your own home, at your own pace. One simple step at a time.
It's called the Zacks Method for Trading. With it, you'll receive everything you need to apply the full force of the Zacks Rank system. As you may already know, this system has beaten the S&P 500 for 19 out of the last 20 years – nearly three times over with an average yearly gain of +30%. In fact, within 20 years, it could have exploded your $10,000 investment into well over $2 million.
Even through the down years of 2000-2002, the picks ran strong. While the S&P 500 was dropping -37.6%, Zacks #1 Rank stocks actually gained +43.8%.
And everything you need to master the magic of Zacks Rank will be sent to you at cost.
This easy, interactive self-training program may represent our most powerful breakthrough since Zacks Investment Research was founded. It has certainly been a particular dream of our founder, Len Zacks. He believed that otherwise casual investors could be trained to beat the market decisively and consistently – without spending more than a few minutes a week checking their portfolios.
The most powerful force
Len is a Ph.D. in mathematics from M.I.T. who published an article back in 1979 that was little noted outside of academic circles and among Certified Financial Analysts. But its effect was far-reaching. It identified a simple but profound stock-picking truth: Revisions to earnings estimates are the most powerful force impacting stock prices.

YOUR ADVANTAGE OVER

When analysts revise their estimates of a company’s earnings upward, that stock tends to outperform the market during the next one to three months – and it’s time to consider buying.
The opposite is also true. When earnings estimates go down, the stock underperforms – and you should definitely think about selling.
At Zacks, we continually process earnings estimates issued by 3,000 analysts from 150 brokerage firms. We monitor more than 200,000 reports, looking for changes.
Then, as soon as those changes are discovered, we pass them along to our clients. They’re reflected in each stock’s Zacks Rank: #1 “Strong Buy,” #2 “Buy,” #3 “Hold,” #4 “Sell,” and #5 “Strong Sell.”
Now individual investors can actually gain the advantage
At first, our clients were institutions and professional investors. Later, we began to share our research and the picks it unearthed with individuals like yourself. But Len always knew that private investors would benefit by applying Zacks Rank methodology on their own
There's really no need, he reasoned, to develop special skills or grapple with abstract theories. When pointed in the right direction, you can take your trading to a higher level by using the Zacks Rank to build and manage a powerful portfolio.
This doesn’t mean you can profit like the pros. It means you can profit better than the pros.
The Zacks Method for Trading gives you an edge over stock fund managers, even the best of them. With it, you can beat them to the punch on stock after stock.
You'll take advantage of the fact that portfolio managers know the power of earnings estimates, too. In fact, many of the big funds and brokerage houses use the Zacks Rank signals. But . . .
You get to the best stocks first
The big funds’ financial system is “molasses slow” and that's where big gains can be made. It often takes weeks for fund managers to process the earnings information. Then it takes even more time to pick stocks (often by committee) and move massive amounts of money into them.
In other words, you can beat the big guys at their own game, without tethering yourself to your computer or your telephone.
With the new Zacks Method, you’ll have plenty of time to buy the right stocks before the managers pour in their fund money and make the prices go up. You’ll also sell before reduced earnings estimates compel the managers to remove money from the stocks and drive their prices down.
The most remarkable fact of all
Right now, I'm prepared to make it easier than ever before to exploit this advantage over the fund managers. I'll send everything you need to make yourself a more profitable trader in your own home. And we're not talking about taking a lot of time or doing a lot of work . . .
Once you learn the Zacks Method for Trading, you can apply its principles in one weekly session of 10 or 15 minutes. Some traders do it only once a month. |
The new Zacks Method for Trading is a home study course that gives you the power to enhance your portfolio with Zacks picks – and develop your own market-beating strategies in the most convenient way possible.
Sitting at your own computer, you’ll quickly discover what makes those Zacks strategies tick, and also how to use them to galvanize your portfolio.
You’ll also shape them for your personal investment style such as Aggressive Growth . . . Growth & Income . . . Momentum . . . Value . . . and more.
Zacks Method for Trading – Breakthrough for the “Ordinary Trader”
I know that, as a Zacks VIP member, you’re more than “ordinary.” But this course is designed to make you truly extraordinary. It’s based on the “I AM” principle:
- Identify what kind of trader you are, where you want to be and which strategies
suit you best.
Analyze stocks to find the ones with the highest probability of success.
- Manage your assets more quickly and easily to maximize profits and lower risk.
Soon you'll be able to say, "I AM a more informed, more confident, and more profitable trader." Here's what you get in this pilot program . . .
