Vector Vest

Great for entertainment, Not great for making money.

Hey guys,

I wanted to leave a review for Vectorvest so people dont make the same mistake I did and get a subscription. I have been a serious user of VV for over 4 years and have never made money. I always had hope and faith in VV but thats how they get you to subscribe. If you have seen their adds or flyers they always claim huge results for usings their maket timing indicators and high rated stocks. the truth is they will cherry pick stocks and backtests that did well in a certain period of time. They show stocks that they gave a buy rating to and went up 500% but they dont say that they gave a buy rating to 500 other stocks that did nothing. and all of their backtests fail live bucause the market changes and the statagy did not Their backtest data is very glitchy and inaccuate(stocks get deleted from the history data if the symbol chages or gets delisted)

Ive had poor dealings with the call center when i had a problem. I also did prove a glitch in their system that lost me money and they basicly said, software glitches sometimes, to bad.

As for their falmous market timing indicators, you can do yourself with moving average indicators..

Anyways if your want to make money then DONT SUBSCIBE TO VECTORVEST.

too much info

Vector Vest platform has so much information that it creates more confusion if you are new to investing. they need to provide more simpler interface with less clutter.

Stupid

In the market you need an edge.. IMO... vector is a stupid took.. Theres no edge here. and is not worth paying for. As you can see most agree by the highly mixed reviews

Pretty good, but not for me.

VectorVest has a ton of info, screens, strategies,and commentaries. However I can't imagine that a daytrader or swingtrader would get much out of it. Charting isn't all that great. It looks like a good system for the longer term investor.

Their VST rating system in pretty cool, but by the time a stock is given a high rating, it's upside has already been reached.

There are just way too many strategies to follow, and there isn't good guidance for a new user.

I had no problems cancelling my subscription. The staff was very understanding.

Great at grasp market trend

Had the software for 2-3 years. The best indicator is the market turning point. In terms of the strategies, you better pick the Conservative Group. I like the S&P 500 strategy the most. Their reviews daily or weekly is definitely helpful as well.

lagging

The indicators that VV provides are lagging big time, once the stock has run than its recommended as a buy, the other thing is that its not in real time so it makes it useless in my books. There are some die hard phony VV users who claim that if you lose through VV than its your fault, how that can be when there is a clear BUY and SELL on their page?

It is a good product if .....

you know nothing and don"t want to think for yourself. Their buy and sell signals are usually right. However, most of the buy and sell signals are for almost no brainers in my opinion that you can get elsewhere for free.

good signals

Buy and sell signals are not my forte, especially considering you get thousands of those though he program.

Pricy Involved Software

A friend of mine has had Vector Vest for 8 years and was always clamoring about this software. So, when they came to Kansas City I was impressed enough to buy VVest 7 RealTime.

I've had hundreds of hours of 'seat time' and attend the local meetings. The best I can say is that it has kept me out of some trades, but, is not very useful (though they'll claim otherwise) at picking 'movers'. Some of my best results have come from Nightly Business Report guests, and several of my biggest gains were never caught by Vector Vest.

[I BOUGHT when VV recommended SELL.]

Will not be renewing this year.

Pretty Good Research Tool

This is really good piece for research and for doing screening.
