I found this site by doing a research in doublestock.com which seems to be a pump and dump scam. Anyways I saw the banner for the StockPicker RT has anyone tried their software and is it accurate?

I haven't tried the software, but I would suggest you spend your research time investigating actual stocks rather than wasting your time looking for the easy way. Please don't take this the wrong way, I would make the same recommendation to anyone.
I am extremely skeptical of anyone offering stock picks for a price, since if one has a good idea of which way a stock will move, it would be more profitable to simply invest in the stock. By getting people to buy their touts these modern day bucket shop operators manipulate the price, and use the move to their advantage, leaving their customers holding the bag.

I would be willing to bet that if it is an ad on this site, it is likely reliable and well recommended.

I would recommend it as all the claims are likely true. Probably save a lot of work as well.

Just look at the website and check what they posted... For instance...

1-900 Jackpot, Inc. (ONJP.OB) $8.10 (November 2006) $39.42 (March 2007) +386%

Is what they claim...
When looking up the stock ONJP.OB doesnt exits.. it's ONJP.. other than that the sell point was in March 2007... just look at the chart. The stock was nowhere NEAR there.. it in fact never reached above $4.

It's a scam that can actually be sued for false advertising. Can we stop addressing these utterly stupid stock pickers. If you're using one of these you don't deserve to be picking stocks. Buy a mutual fund and don't handle your own money because you obviously cannot do so effectively if you are relying on a site like this.

That's just how I feel about the whole thing... sorry if it sounds harsh.

Although we try to keep the quality of the ads high, it is impossible to control everything. We run Google advertising, and anyone can get an ad if they pay the right price. You will see a lot of ads for DoublingStocks.com there these days. We also trade ads with other sites, and we can't always check everything about the ads we trade with them. Some ads are delivered by javascripts that can change the ad every time it is served.

We also run ads for affiliate programs we belong to, and these we can control somewhat by looking at the ratio of sales to refunds. The program you mentioned is one we have been associated with for years, and there have been two, maybe three refunds from dozens and dozens of sales. This does not mean we are endorsing it - but it is a stock screening system that some traders might find useful. Whether it is a good value for your money only you can decide. I would assume that customers are happy with it or there would be more refunds. If I send out a newsletter with an ad for a program that does not honor its refund policy, you know that I would have to deal with the irate customers myself.

I am not posting an affiliate link to that software here because I will be accused of creating this thread or planting this question from a new poster, which I have never done and never would do.

He is joking with you. However, don't use anything where you are not guaranteed a trial period or a refund if you don't like it. And it should be a no-conditions refund - not a refund if you can "demonstrate that you tried the trades" or some other condition.

Luc1Grunt - a lot of traders need to start with training wheels. I don't know any brokers who don't read reports, newsletters. I know traders who make a lot of money from selling their advice to hedge funds with alerts and analysis. The average beginner isn't going to be able to afford a $10,000 a month alert service, or the latest screening tools.

Some people can't afford to spend a lot of time figuring out the market by themselves, and they can benefit from advice or tools. Some people read tabloids, some people read The New York Times.

These are the people we refer to as mutual fund investors, or if they aren't smart, contributors.

My point exactly.
