Zacks Home Run Investor
Zacks’ long-term investor service targets under-the-radar companies with over-the-top +50%, +100%, +200% potential. But it’s ever watchful to prevent strike-outs by cutting losers and providing diversity. The key is pinpointing strong Zacks Rank companies with potential to grow past the normal one-to-three-month profit zone.
Features:
• Home run stocks with potential for
repeated positive earnings surprises
• Rides winners 12 and even 24 months
• Avoids strike-outs by cutting losers and
providing 25-30 diverse stock picks
• Daily signals with market commentary Bonus
• Home Run Investor Guide
Zacks’ long-term Home Run Investor is the perfect complement to our trading services that tend to be more active and shorter term.
It zeroes in on strong Zacks Rank stocks that can generate positive earnings surprises quarter after quarter. For example, Georgia Gulf, a small cap chemical company, has jumped +100% over a six-month period.
We’re looking to expand the normal Zacks Rank profit zone, riding stocks 12, even 24 months to their maximum gains. We’ll find these undervalued stocks in heating-up industries, as they generate Growth At A Reasonable Price (GARP).

Income Plus Investor
Zacks introduces a new approach to income investing. It's designed to balance more aggressive moves with a steady flow of income. Selected high dividend stocks plus other low-risk assets replace fixed-income investments that lose to inflation.
Features:
• Starts with stocks projected to pay 3%, 5%, even 10% dividends.
• Adds other low-risk assets to the mix.
• Typical holding period: One year.
• Daily signals with market commentary.
• Bonus Income Plus Investor Guide
Zacks' Equity Strategist Todd Bunton applies Zacks Rank data and his own top-down analysis of market conditions to find the right income investments at the right time.
He starts with stocks already paying dividends of 3% or higher, then finds the rare ones likely to sustain these payouts well into the future. What's the "Plus" in Income Plus? He also adds Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Covered Calls, and special Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) with low downsides and market-beating potential.
This is a steady, rest-easy way to smooth your portfolio against the swings of more aggressive moves. It's a strong low-risk alternative to T-notes, CDs, money market accounts, and other zero-growth investments that consistently lose to inflation.

Zacks Insider Trader
Zacks' insider strategy tracks officers and substantial owners who invest their own money in their own companies. Then it filters stocks through Zacks Rank and valuation factors for tested results that actually triple Zacks #1 Rank Strong Buys. This strategy flies high even during market downturns.
Features:
• Follows personal buys of key insiders
•
Targets companies that already show
strong earnings and valuations.
• Typically 7 stocks at any time
• 3 to 6-month holding periods
• Daily signals with commentary
• Bonus Insider Trader Users Guide
Studies long showed that stocks with significant insider buying outperform the market as a whole. Officers, directors, and substantial owners would have an unfair advantage over the public because they have access to pending contracts and deals, plans and predictions. That's why they must report their transactions within 48 hours.
The Zacks research team has found a new, lawful way to jump on these opportunities – and detect which insider purchases, at what companies, buying how many shares, will signal the most significant gains.
Our Insider Trader stock-picking strategy also brings timeliness, valuations, and the Zacks Rank into play.
Tests show its average yearly gain actually triples Zacks #1 Strong Buy stocks. Even when the market was down -37% during bearish 2008, the strategy racked up double-digits.
One-year subscription $1995. Currently closed to new investors

•
Buy and sell alerts
• Typically 5-10 positions held at any time

The options mega-boom has set all-time volume records in 16 of the last 17 years, but only a few traders do it right. These savvy few know how to maximize their profit potential while limiting their downside risk.
That’s why Zacks created a new options service under the expert direction of Kevin Matras. He employs little-known professional options techniques enhanced with the power of Zacks Rank and his own proven stock screens.
With his guidance, you can make substantial money while risking less than on ordinary stock purchases. You can even profit when the market drifts sideways or when wrong about the direction of a stock.
What about sharp market swings? They offer the best options opportunities of all.
The Zacks Options Trader is a restricted service and may be closed to new investors at any time. It provides time-sensitive "what," "when," and "why" recommendations. You also receive a bonus Options Trader Guide to help you get a clear understanding of the techniques and make the most of the service.

Reitmeister Trading Alert
The Reitmeister Trading Alert is the most popular service at Zacks. Whatever direction the market goes, its subscribers have enjoyed more than 80 double-digit winners in less than 3 years and timely market calls
Reitmeister Trading Alert Member Benefits: • Private daily commentary
• Balanced portfolio, prescribed allocations • Average of 6-10 positions at any time
• Bonus Reitmeister Trading Alert Guide
• Timely email buy and sell alerts
The Reitmeister Trading Alert is much more than a stock-picking service. It’s a carefully balanced portfolio designed to score substantial gains no matter what the market does.
All moves in the Reitmeister Trading Alert plan are directed by Steve Reitmeister, who heads up Zacks.com. His subscribers have scored big while most others have lost. Through October 2011, Reitmeister Trading Alert is up +16.8% this year while the S&P 500 is in the red. In addition, members of this exclusive service have gained during critical market declines. For example, he called the market fall on August 3. From August 4 to August 8, the market lost nearly 5% of its value while Steve’s subscribers GAINED nearly 9%. Then in September, when the market fell 675 points on September 21 and 22, his subscribers rang up big gains once again.
"I’m up a couple hundred thousand on your advice in the past 3 months. Thank you!"
- B.C., Sarasota, FL
How does he do it? Steve applies an intensive top-down approach to investing that starts by focusing on the economy leading to proper asset allocation and ends with selection of the best possible trades. In this analysis, Steve blends 30 years of investment experience with every resource available to him at Zacks Investment Research, including investment tools and research that are not available to the public.
As a result, in less than three years, this service has produced nearly 80 double-digit winners.
The Reitmeister Trading Alert is now closed to new members. This new service has been so popular that we can no longer accept new subscribers. Please sign up for the waiting list to be notified if a subscription becomes available. There is no obligation for joining this list.
Directed by Zacks.com chief Steve Reitmeister, this new service combines value criteria with Zacks Rank timing. We'll track undervalued companies until the market starts to see their real worth. Then we'll "pounce" for gains that can build for years like Priceline and Amazon have done in Steve's personal long-term portfolio.
Features: • Targets value stocks selling at
25-50% "discounts" and more.
• Uses earnings estimates and
Zacks Rank to time entry and exit.
• Rides winners 12 months to 12 years.
• Daily signals with market commentary.
• Bonus Value Investor Guide
The Reitmeister Value Investor serves people who have the will to buy deeply undervalued stocks, and the patience to ride them out to their maximum potential.
Forward-looking earnings estimates (shown in blue) gave Steve the confidence to ride Priceline (PCLN) from $14.62 to more than $500 per share.
With Steve Reitmeister, a lifelong value investor, we'll take a predator's approach to these companies. We'll follow his Watch List to stalk strong companies trading at ridiculous discounts. Then, using Zacks Rank timing, we'll pounce on them just as their prices begin to move upward. And then we will have the patience to not let go till they have reached full value.
Losers will be sold early, but winners may build for years (as Priceline and Amazon have done in Steve's personal portfolio).
The Reitmeister Value Investor is for those who know the market can be beat by applying the proven benefits of value, Zacks Rank and patience.

Tactical Trader
Global markets expert Kevin Cook follows the money trail of institutional portfolio managers to find "hidden bulls" that few investors ever see. He uses his fast reflexes and Zacks Rank research to pursue double and triple-digit gains no matter what is happening with the S&P 500.
Features:
• Targets substantial short-term gains • Fires every Zacks weapon –
stocks long and short, options, ETFs
• Typically 10 stocks at any time
• 1 to 12-week holding periods
• Daily signals with commentary
• Bonus Tactical Trader Guide
Kevin Cook was a market-maker in the $4-trillion-dollar-a-year world of international currency. Now he pilots the Tactical Trader, and blends his knowledge of money movement with the screening power of the Zacks Rank.
Recently, in little more than two months, he correctly called six market swings. He also pinpointed an Extreme Value Area when the market dove on October 4, 2011, and led his followers to big gains with stocks like Cummins (CMI) which jumped +17% in less than a month.
This service takes advantage when other investors are behaving irrationally. It rides upward or downward swings as the market returns to where it should be.

No stocks are harder to find. No strategy was harder to develop. But Zacks researchers can now detect true turnarounds that have suddenly leapfrogged from low Zacks Ranks to the highest #1 Strong Buys. When this signal is filtered with valuation and growth factors. It unearths rare gems that outgain the full #1 list by more than 2 ½ times.
Features:
• Get in on "suddenly crowned"
Zacks #1s
• 1 to 4-week holding periods
• Private daily alerts on specific
moves and market outlook
• Timely buy / sell signals Bonus:
• Turnaround Trader Guide
Zacks Rank Turnaround Trader targets stocks that every investor dreams about. Many analysts were shunning them, revising estimates of their future earnings downward.
Then something amazing happened.
Maybe it was a change in management. The blazing heat-up of its industry. New plan. New product. New rating. New acquisition.
Suddenly, earnings estimates reversed their course and surged upward. Wall Street is just beginning to notice. That’s when we move in and recommend the rarest of these gems that will sustain their turnarounds for maximum profit potential.
This strategy was backtested through 10 years of market ups and downs, including two recessions. While the market declined -1.7% per year , Zacks #1 Rank "Strong Buy" stocks gained +17.6% per year. Yet, these turnaround stocks overpowered even our "Strong Buys" with an average yearly gain of +45.6%.

Zacks Whisper Trader - Now Closed to New Subscribers
Zacks has discovered the Stock-Picker’s Holy Grail. Whisper Trader is the long-sought way to take the surprise out of earnings reports. Using only the most accurate analyst whispers, this model targets positive surprises with 77.96% accuracy. Tests show that over the past ten years, through two recessions, its signals would have averaged a yearly gain of +62.1%.
Features:
• Get in shortly before earnings report
• Sell a few days afterward
• Up to 2-week holding periods
•
Private Daily Commentary
• Timely Buy /Sell signals Bonus
• Whisper Trader Guide
Whisper Trader was backtested through a 10-year period that included two recessions and many corrections. Overall, while the market declined -0.3% per year and Zacks #1 Rank Strong Buy stocks gained +24.0% per year, the new whisper strategy generated an almost unthinkable +62.1% per year.
If you put $10,000 into the S&P 500 in February, 2001, you’d be down to $9,692 by 2010. But thanks to the nuclear-scale power of compounding your gains, Whisper Trader recommendations would have ballooned your $10,000 to $904,561. This strategy builds profitability by targeting many relatively small gains over short holding periods. It snaps up companies one to four days before their earnings announcements, then rides them for couple of days to a couple of weeks.
Now you can take charge of your own destiny, without waiting for talk and tips. With Zacks Method for Trading you’ll transform yourself into a Master Stock Trader, one simple step at a time.
With the step-by-step instructions in Zacks Method for Trading, you'll learn how to use the 26% per year Zacks Rank system to find market-beating stocks on your own, fully exploiting the system that beat the market 18 of the last 20 years.
Best of all, you can out-trade the masters. Even the best fund managers simply can’t react as quickly as you to the single most important factor that determines whether a stock will go up or down.
