Does vectorvest work?

They do provide general interpretation of the markets, and their version of market timing indicators that have already been mentioned.

For example, if one wanted a list of all optionable NASDAQ stocks trading within a range of $2 to $50, with a minimum volume of 100000 shares on any given day in the past 20 or so years, I don't know where else you would go.

Perhaps this example does not mean much, but maybe a list of all stocks meeting the above criteria that have moved up at least 40% in the past month would be of more interest.

Do they offer a free trial?

I don't believe they do, but I believe they have a 30 day trial for like $9.95 or something like that.

Cool. Thank you, sir. If they have in place a rewards program by which any of you current subscribers get a kick-back for a referral feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll sign up.

Madcowdisease.........did you sign up? If so, what are your thoughts about vv?

To VV customers only (former and current):

Hi all. I am new to this forum but have been thinking of joining VV for some months now. I am a total novice and couldn't tell a Forex from a front loaded fund.

Just kidding. I just want to improve my returns on stocks.

Does anyone have experience to show whether the claimed gains for VV actually materialize or is it just marketing hype? Hard facts only please, your opinions are valued but this is a simple question. When you try their recommended strategies do you actually gain as much as they claim? Is it less? Or is it more?

Is it or

From a previous post of mine in this same thread back in May:

As for their strategies, had you entered when they say, and exited when they say, the strategies would have paid off as they have noted, however, anyones ability to enter and exit at those precise points is questionable. Also, their strategies are often crafted after a move in the market, and results are based on backtesting, so not real true results.

Their "model portfolio" is up like 92% YTD, but you would not be able to match that performance by following them, as they do not announce their entry on any specific strategy until the night after they entered, and they do not announce their exiting a strategy until the night after they have exited, so the individual trying to copy them would always be one day behind, (sometimes to your advantage, sometimes to your disadvantage).

After all this has been said, I still like their service for the reasons mentioned in my previous posts in this thread, but I do not use their strategies for entrance or exits to trades.

Thank you FL for your candid response. That was the kind of technical detail that I was looking for.

I wouldn't mind losing a couple of percent on either end of a trade as long as we're talking about a 90% gain YTD.

I wonder if anyone has tried to buy on green. I wouldn't turn down a 60% gain inside of 6 months.

Hi
i am interested to buy this service and finding mixed reviews in various internet postings.
Is there any one in the forum who is curently using it or used in recent past?

I wanted to know if it gave the sell indicator for BAC/C/RF/AMD and some other which came down heavly last week.

I made some money in these stocks and after my sell, the prices came down and I started buying them again and then it came further down and I bought some more and then it came down next day.. my funds gone and now no funds and no way to find out if thery will not go any further down.

Thanks in advance

BAC Buy to Hold on 10-20, Hold to Sell on 10-26

C Buy to Hold on 10-20, hold to sell on 10-28

RF Buy to hold on 10-19, hold to sell on 10-26

AMD Hold to sell on 10-30, sell to hold on 11-2

I never use VV for buy and hold on individual stocks, but as I have mentioned earlier in this thread, I use it to screen for stocks based on different attributes. Their market timing is interesting though, showing the market turning from up to down on 10-28.

thanks Florida, the predication seems to have been working.
I have to wait till this weekend and then jump.
I was thinking first to take the $9.99 trial it in my wife's name and use trial for 35 days and then take in my name for another months. and I am sure that two montsh would be good enough to decide weather it fits to my needs.

I normaly put linit orders in the night for the next day as I avoid using invstment account while in office. I dont get much time also to study the market. Just brpwse different forums and make a guess and buy.
