Zacks Recommendation

Zacks Recommendations are an excellent predictor of stock price movement over a 6+ month time frame. The recommendations come from the Zacks Equity Research group which combines the Zacks Rank with the insights from their team of over 50 equity analysts. The result is superior long term stock ratings.

The Zacks Recommendations are split into 3 groups: Buy, Hold and Sell. Our Buy recommendations have generated returns of 34.4% in 2006, and 16.69% in 2007. When Zacks Premium members click on the recommendation it will launch them to the Zacks Equity Research report for the stock. More on these reports below.
