VectorVest Reviews

It is a total SCAM. Once you sign up for their $29 trail, they just keep billing you even after you tell them you want to cancel. They still owe me $29 plus $137. Stay away, plus the system is not that great.

I think vectorvest is fantastic, it keeps you on the right side of the market and if I would have had it in 2008 it would have been a life saver. I am currently testing shorting the market and I'm up 10000 on a 100000 portfolio. that's 10% in 1 month. I am in cash 2 weeks ahead of this current down turn. I think that's fantastic!

It is a very useful tool for the price, but you have to learn the system and make some of your own decisions based on the info VV gives you. Its great for technical analysis, but you have to do your homework and factor in fundamental analysis also. Every stock is subject to both.

I tried a subscription before the 2008 market plunge..VV rewrites its but and sell calls as i just received some marketing hype..They where now saying they had a market call 11/2007...BS there was no call that I saw....It repaints history to suit there market.

I rate it fair. The Pythagorean theorem doesn't work in the stock market. They have so many different ways to analyze the market you never know what is working the best. The claim they never missed a market top or bottom but they make changes almost every day do they are likely to hit a call that coincides with the market. I used this service off and on and never made money on any consistent basis. Many times with their timing it got me in at the exact top for a stock only to get killed with the stock dropping the next day or two. Some individuals developed their own systems and claim to make money but no one know if this worked long term. As said, this system has dubious results in my trials and I gave up. If it was so good, way does DR Dilidio have paid seminars to teach you how to use it. It seems like a money making system for Mr Dilidio and a way to lose your money. Maybe some did well but was it the system or just luck? I've read books and most of the market predictions that are correct are luck. Mark Hulbert, who studies these market pundits, more than anyone, says the best eventually all revert to the mean. The worst are bad but the best are having a lucky streak and then eventually they revert to an average. If you consistently beat the market , you have some information that no one else has or you made good guesses.

VectorVest is like Cramer selling snake oil without the entertainment.
Their data is incorrect.
I have use VectorVest for 6 years and lost money. I can call up support and learn of a new way to lose money.
Their retirement strategy does not work because the option rate of return model is incorrect.
The premium expected by their options return model has no connection with reality.
Bunch of old people hang out at the monthly user meet, they are better of playing Bingo or Lotto.

I just finished my 2nd week and still loving VV. I am a trader and my account is up 58 percent since I started using VV. I feel like I am in "trader's heaven". The key to success is to review all the videos, several times if necessary, and use VV customer support as much as possible. They are very knowledgeable folks. VV is a very powerful tool if used properly. I liken it to a map. There are different ways to get to the same object, but you have to decide for yourself which is best for you. It's not rocket science. Thank God for VV.

I have been using the VV program for about a week and I LOVE IT! I option trade and VV is working great for me. I bought a contract for symbol VVUS today after that huge run of 77 percent on yesterday. The stock closed up 18 percent today. I was on board thanks to VV. Had it not been for VV, I would have missed this monster move today. I switched to the real time program today also. I will be evaluating that over the next 4 weeks. If you watch the videos and read the material daily, you will have success. Again, I have only been at it for a week, but so far so good. I do not believe in beginners luck so it must be VV. God Bless!

I have used VectorVest for some 6 years. The product Is good but their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

I found it useless as they never pick stock about to explode,the top picks they have any fool could see they are good ,without using Vector,once they get to the point where Vector rates them buy if you were following market you would know this for free,So all in all a total waste of money.

I have been a user for about 1 year and I am still discovering the value of the data base and the tools for better analysis and action of the market. I have seen many tools over the years but known that are as complete , detailed and user friendly. The daily stock market analysis and the color guard with the MTI indicator are very valuable as a stand alone benefit but that really only scatches the surface. I look forward to VV establishing an on-line brokerage this tear. The user group in Orange County is fantastic as well and I found them to be really expert in VV the system and instructive with regard to developing a knowledge base of skilled users.

I have only had Vector Vest for 48 hours, i have been looking for some help with finding stocks and view history of the stock.

I have noticed that when the stocks are at a buy and above 1 that the stocks may be at a high peak, what I have decided to do is to review the history's ups and down, I won't buy if it looks like its at the high of previous bumps, look for the next down and buy, wait and note how many days or weeks and buy at the low, I would never buy when it looks like its at the high of previous bump. Move on there's tons of stocks to track, make notes or add to watch list, and watch the patterns.

This is only two days and the program tells me this, its my money and I want to keep it that way, so should you.

I will post again in two weeks .

I used VV and found that it wasn't that good, the buys become buys when the stock has run up for a week already, the sells the same thing. So that part of the program is pointless. I also dont believe many of these superstar comments on how they made 600% and so on, I am a day trader and found all these programs and trading groups to be noise and a nuisance, in fact I would say that my worst times have been when I joined some type of stock group of signed up for a VV type of software. Learn technicals, learn yourself, control your emotions and you are 100% there.

Here is the truth about Vectorvest. It works best for those insiders who initiate the "First in"....First out" trade activity. After they slaughter your stock Vectorvest posts the changes to the buy or sell status.......problem is it is too late for you by then. When Vectorvest buys turn into sells they dump 15 to 20 percent quickly and you are caught with the bag. If you can beat these cheats at their own game you can use their recommended stocks and do well. It is frustrating to any outsider.

VectorVest is NOT A SCAM. It works like a dream. VectorVest makes it easy to stay on the right side of the the market and pick winning stocks.

I have been using VectorVest for over 10 years and i have never seen a better service.

Most people don't put in the effort it takes to be successful in the stock market. You can't blindly follow some "guru's" black box stock picks and think you're going to get rich.

This is what sets VectorVest apart. You can, and I would encourage you to, look behind the curtain and see the data behind the guidance they provide. This gave me a better understanding of what the system does and how it works. in turn this gives me more confidence when I trade.

Prior to using VectorVest I second guessed myself far too often, which lead to poor trading decision. i would hold on to stock too long hoping, praying and wishing they'd come come back. Now I just let VectorVest guide me. When they rate a stock a Sell, I get rid of it, no need to toil over what to do.

Anyway, I think you know where I stand by now. I usually don't write reviews, but this was one I had to voice my opinion on. In 2008, when the market crashed some of my neighbors lost their jobs and their homes, but thanks to VectorVest I was out of the market before the crashed. It literally saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I only regret not telling more people about VectorVest sooner.

I AM A BELIEVER. I HAVE SEEN IT WORK. IT CAN WORK FOR YOU TOO.

-Good Luck

I rated it Fair because they are able to create a program that does all these data magic, back testing, market timing base on past data. Before one can consider buying a tool, you must know how to use it. When you do know how to use the tool the next thing is figuring it how to make you money such as this Vector Vest tool. I purchase a 1 month subscription. I purchased a few trades that VV recommended a buy at the time. The stocks I purchased went down, and down, and down. So I just sold the stock for a loss.

I would have made money if I did options but my financial institution required and higher amount of money in the brokerage account. Best way is to do the trial of VV and do paper trades versus real cash trades (I learned the hard way). One should also ask them self if this tool is so great and is able to time the market as what VV states? Why doesn’t VV have a VV mutual fund symbol that is available to the US stock market to trade?

One would logically think if such a company has this kind of awesome program, why doesn’t’ this company use it to run their own mutual funds? It’s all about show and tell. You cannot just tell how to use the data and then not show actual bank statements? I would give Larry Williams a try instead.

I rarely look at my credit card statement which is paid automatically by by bank, but I happened to check the latest just now and low and behold there is a $59 debit from VectorVest. I say, my God, how long has this been going on? At least seven months ago, maybe more, this outfit asked if I wanted to try them. I did, and immediately saw that they can't help me with my style of trading. I thought that trial was the last of them until today! Let this warn anybody else who doesn't want them to have their hooks into you, If you like this service, fine, but don't think the trial period just ends it or that they'll send you anything that warns you you're being debited. I have no idea if Vectorvest serves anyone well, but I sure wouldn't give them any thumb up for transparent dealings. Robert Hardin, Panama

Very poor system. Buy 2 shares of Apple with the money you would spend on a subscription.
Most high VST rated stocks have such low volume, you can't unload them when they dive, because there are no buyers.

Info on stocks is generic for all stocks, dreadfully inadequate. Same amount of space is dedicated to Apple or Exxon Mobil as some penny stock. They leave out info like CEO health, Pending law suits, patents expiring, mergers, etc. Look at the charts for DORM, MSB, MRO.

If the system is so good why do they need people to beg you to keep the system? They should all be millionaires!

I have subscribed to Vectorvest for around 3 years and I would not call it a scam although I have not had good results from the market timing system. Whenever they do their back test demonstration to show you what great results they get they pick a recent bottom and start it from that day.

I have never ever gotten the results they say you can get with their strategies. In fact I would say I have been more prone to lose money than win. The stock screeners are very good and thats the only reason I still have it. I think they are good people and their intentions are good but the system has not worked really well for me. Another fault of the system is they seldom make any predictions on where the market is going and to me thats all that matters. We can all see where its been for free.

All in all I am still keeping the service just for the screener but I am very unimpressed with the guidance. For those who would like to know I am no rookie and have been trading for over 20 years.
