Rely On Two Market Leaders for Profit Opportunities Delivering 75% Returns and Higher - With Fast Turnarounds
Most Zacks customers are familiar with the power of the Zacks Rank and the 30% per year gains of Zacks #1 Rank stocks. But not everyone realizes what a powerful timeliness indicator the Zacks Rank is. And many investors overlook the powerful "sell" indicator of a Zacks #5 Rank.
The bottom line is that these short term moves - both up and down - can provide plenty of profit-generating opportunities for options traders.
With the options trading expertise of Bernie Schaeffer, you get a trading service that uses the Zacks Rank's timliness indicator in both directions to profit in Bull and Bear markets alike, and exercise much greater leverage than trading stocks alone.

Zacks Rank Breakout Trader
A rapid improvement in the Zacks Rank identifies turnaround stocks that will move dramatically in the next month. It nearly doubles the performance of the Zacks Rank alone, producing a 55.8% annualized return.
Features:
• Buy / Sell Signals
• Short Term
(1 month holding period)
• Fundamental Analysis
Precious few companies leapfrog more than one Zacks Rank at a time. Our Breakout Trader ferrets out companies with earnings estimates that have skyrocketed. These are the extreme turnarounds, the companies that suddenly broke out from a Zacks #4 or #3 Rank (“Sell” or “Hold”) and jumped all the way up to a Zacks #1 Rank “Strong Buy.”
When a company makes a big, bold move like that, Zacks knows it first. Our variety of proprietary indicators and time-tested models immediately recognize the difference between a flash-in-the-pan stock and a very, very special trading opportunity.
As soon as our system picks up such a signal – and before the market has time to react – we’ll pass it along to you. That’s how Breakout Trader outperforms the S&P 500 and even the overall returns of Zacks #1 Rank picks.

Catch powerful growth spurts before they happen with the system that cultivates gains even in down markets.
Features:
• Buy / Sell Signals
• Short-term (4 - 12 weeks)
• Fundamental and technical analysis
Imagine seeing a small, private list of stocks with earnings that are growing like wildfire. And yet, their shares have somehow remained underpriced and undervalued.
That's the strategy behind Growth Trader. Developed by Zacks' world-class stock screening expert, we tested it against historical data to see if it would hold up against all kinds of markets. From 2001 to 2008, while the S&P lost an annual average of -.03%, the Growth Trader system gained an average of +57.2% per year!

Zacks Momentum Trader
Zacks Momentum Trader combines technical analysis with the fundamental power of the Zacks Rank, creating a trading service with a 5-year return of 726.5%.
Features:
• Buy / Sell Signals
• Short Term
(1 month holding period)
• Fundamental Plus Technical Analyses
Here's a quick look at how Momentum Trader blends technical predictors with the celebrated fundamental earnings signal of Zacks Rank.
Technical Indicators
1. Each pick is at its high price for a number of weeks.
2. Each is experiencing a multiple of its average trading volume.
3. Each has been sloping upward for a number of days. Fundamental Strength
4. Each is a Zacks Rank #1 Stock
Typically, about 75 stocks will be selected using the first three indicators. From these, we'll cull only the Zacks #1 picks. That will bring the total down to less than ten. Only the strongest five will make our list of recommendations. There will never be more than that number. Then – at the moment the system triggers a buy or sell signal – we'll send you an alert.

Zacks Surprise Trader - Save 33%
Zacks Surprise Trader allows active traders to profit from earnings surprises. This strategy turns a series of small gains on short-term trades into market-beating annual profits.
Features:
• Buy / Sell Signals
• Short Term
(2 week holding period)
• Fundamental Analysis
Our proprietary system looks for stocks that were declining into their earnings announcement, but ended up having a big positive surprise. That means the market was leaning the wrong direction on the stock.
So when it turns out to be a positive surprise, it takes investors a couple of weeks to correct their mistake. And that is why we are able to come in after the surprise and make a profit for our subscribers.
But we go even further to find the best stocks. Using the Zacks Rank, we hand-select five to ten stocks for Surprise Trader each month, and tell you exactly when to buy and when to sell.

TIMELINESS OF ZACKS RANK
= 46.4% RETURNS
We built this strategy around eight factors, including several- like low p/e and price-to-book ratios- that value investors prize. But when we added the timeliness of the Zacks Rank, we got performance beyond what we had dared to hope for.
Value Trader has all the benefits of value investing, including freedom from whipsaw volatility. Its growth path is nearly 5 times smoother than the S&P 500, while averaging a 46.4% annual return.
That's made Value Trader our most wildly popular trading service, which is why it's no longer accepting new subscribers. We must limit the number of members to ensure the value of Value Trader's recommendations. If you'd like to be notified when a subscription becomes available, you can join the Value Trader waiting list.
