I wouldn't waste my money on it.

Flipping a coin would do just as good.Keep in mind, that anything it could do, Multi-Trillion dollar Wall Street could easily replicate. If multi-trillion dollar Wall Street used it, it would not work anymore ... because everyone is using it.

I hope that makes some common sense. I know we all want to know when a stock or the market is going to go up and when it is going to go down ... but we never will. As soon as you come to grips with that, you can move on to the things that you can know and that do work.

Good luck to you.

Has anyone tried vector vest? It seems like they advertise a lot and when I check out their website, it's $9.99 for a 5 week trial. I'd like to know if there's any catch, such as limited functionality during that time and how much it is afterwards.

Thanks!

It sounds like a scam to me, but who knows. Let us know what you find.

It's obvious that the system would be of little use. If it worked as advertised (eg gives valid buy and sell indicators for hundreds of stock) the developers would be billionaires and very unlikely to want to sell their system-especially for $10. I am sure they give good advice from time to time but what they don't say is how many times their signals are wrong. The testimonials you see on BNN are laughable and certainly not credible. I would be interested in your opinion if you decide to buy.

Vector Vest is a black box system. It gives you commentary and advice, but you don't see the analysis, or all that is behind the recommendation. I rely more on technical analysis and charts than fundamental analysis and prefer to draw on all the resources I can avail rather than rely solely on their recommendation. Here's some commentary from another investment forum.

On One Hand: Lots of Good InformationVectorVest investment software offers buy, sell and hold advice, but its real value is in the detailed fundamental information it offers. It can analyze, rank and sort over 15,000 different stocks and provide detailed analysis of each, including value per share estimates, comparative scores, timing scores, suggested stop times and many other data points.

On the Other: Not to Be Used Blindly
A VectorVest subscription can be expensive at $645 per year. To get the most out of this, it should be used as a learning tool or supplement to an existing trading system. You will still have to do your own research and decide if a given investment is worthwhile for you.

Bottom LineVectorVest provides a great deal of information on all sorts of stocks and investment options. Whether it is worth a $645 per year fee is a matter of debate, but VectorVest is a good tool to have alongside your other investment strategies

here is an interesting proposition.

Assumptions:

1. Companies like vector vest, gorilla trades etc... are not naive.
2. The strategies in 1 produces a consistent return above 10% on all type of markets.

Conclusion:

There would a line up of "smart" money asking them to manage their money.

Considering that you dont see the conclusion. it implies that the assumption is wrong. Either they (Vector vest, gorilla trades) are naive or they dont produce 10%/year. Probably they are naive, they are willing to give their treasure for few bucks a month.

I hope this helps.
