Duniyo -
Seems like a pretty good plan. If you perform this, you ought to create a thread about it within this forum.
Thanks

I sure will! I will start the free trial sometime late March or early April as I am busy with other commitments until then.

I did my spreadsheet and, after taking over $6K off the table, have over $6K sitting there again! Joined Ultimate at the sale price!

In the last 5 weeks I've had 5 Zacks recommendations that missed big. All the stocks tanked 10%-20%.

ELY 1/31 AFFX 2/11 RGR 2/26 FIX 3/3 HCI 3/4 I question their sources, unless I just have extreme bad luck. These were all strong #1 picks.

Most of my buys have been 2's or 3's. So maybe it's just my gut and I've been lucky. BCRX has been downgraded to a 4, so out it goes today. Edit: Just got 7.1% at market. Also sold HZNP at market for 13.23% just now because my gut said so and I don't oink. And AMBA for 15.15%. "I can always get in again...". I'm tired of watching my profits melt away.

Are there any research companies that focus on long-term investing? Zacks is under pressure to meet daily "quota".

Duniyo, Here's a good long termer : Nate Pile, of Nate's Notes. I first heard of him through Hulberts. He might bore you to death. He'll have 5 stocks and hold them each for 5 -10 years, but he's good. I've been holding one of his, HQL, for several years and am up 275% in one account. I've got it in at least 3 different retirement funds.
