“Been trading stocks for 5 decades and have applied O'Neil's principals since the late '80's. IF you apply O'Neil's rules, remain disciplined, study, become proficient (not expert) at chart reading and what the markets are telling you, IBD will help you make a fortune. MarketSmith is phenomenal for data / charting all-in-one. IBDLive may be THE best investing show ever and a deep well of knowledge / experience. Yes, it cost money. Doesn't everything? Yes it a sacrifice of some time. Name anything worthwhile that doesn't? Where can you go and REALLY learn from certified experts? It's far cheaper than a degree and can help almost anyone generate enormous profits. If you don't want to invest in your own knowledge then stay away or accept lesser returns.”

“I have been a loyal IBD subscriber for over 30 years. The iBD system of stock picking, although compelling, is deeply flawed and not worth your while. A simple comparison of the performance of the FFTY etf, which tracks the performance of the ibd 50,to the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq over the last 5 years will show you that it has returned half the appreciation! The quick churning of stocks when they drop 7 or 8% simply does not work. It never worked for William Oneil either. Buy and hold is the only way to beat the casino essence of the market. The investor must act like the casino and take away the clock. They have a biased toward their subscribers to churn the market which is evident by the abundant and nagging borage of endless add from the many discount brokers who will profit from a churning portfolio. The more you churn the faster you burn through your money. That said IBD is a worthwhile source of information and worth the subscription. Because when you are looking to make a good long term investment they do offer some very profitable picks. Their conservative political views can get a bit irritating which have dominated their commentary in the past. If you can cull get away from their market biases and constant pedaling of their cult like loyalty to the William O'Neil system. then the paper will serve you well. Under no circumstances should you subscribe to their myriad of other services which they are really trying to push lately.”

“I paid for a 6 weeks trial of IBD Swing Trader. So far, I've invested in 10 of their suggested buys. Six of them resulted in a Stop Loss at their suggested sell price. Three of them are down right now. Only one is marginally up. If you like losing money Swing Trader is for you.”

“I’ve been using Swing Trader for nearly 9 months now. Their 2020 track record was excellent however 2021 has been very poor. Basically all I earned with them in 2020 has been lost in 2031. Perhaps they need to adjust to the new market. Not sure exactly what it is but they’re the experts supposedly and that’s what we pay for. I’ll be more cautious going forward until I can see their methods working again.”

“Don't bother trying SwingTrader. It seems very easy when you are on the trial membership. Information is straight forward, and while not always great picks, investing is a risky business. However, when you go to the full membership the information is extremely difficult to find and all the platform does is try to show off "results" to upsell more services. AGAIN... DON'T BOTHER”

“Lost more than I’ve made with Swing Trader. By the time you are alerted, it was already past the entry. If it’s still within the buy range at the end of the day... 80 percent chance its going to reverse and get stopped out the next day. Extremely disappointed. Probably lost at least a few thousand.”

“I have subscribed to IBD for over 30 years. IBD has progressively moved toward an unapologetic money mill constantly urging benign upgrades and now limiting news feeds emplying the carrot and the stick marketing technique. William O'neil at best was a mediocre fund manager who decided to sell the oil lamps with the CANSLIM (can'tswim) investment method that has proven ineffective time and again. to wit the FFTY, a fund that tracks the IBD 50, has performed abysmally since its inception. If this an etf that tracks the performance of IBD's methodology and ideology than doesn't it tell something about the methods employed? The proof of concepts is failing. The center cannot hold and pretty sure William O'neil is either dead or suffers from dementia. The information provided is good however some of the data is incorrect as they don't always reflect the true revenues or debt held by the equities covered because they fail to update. They are on the west coast so they are a bit out of step with Wall Street too. Some may take this as a welcome different point of view but their methodology admittedly has a small influence on the market as a whole; their writeup and selections do very little to advance the volume of any stock they list or promote. They also are shameless in their excessive advertising using popups for discount brokers who advertise heavily on their website. This reflects their bias toward rapid selling and buying which the Discount online brokers enjoy but few who trade often ever make money. So if you can stay away from their voodoo methodology and just use their data as a starting point then you might be able to uncover some gems but remember you have to wade through all the noise and sputum thrown at you to get to the good stuff. I still use it but the quality is progressively becoming more mercantilist and limited with a large ambiguous bias: We are not telling you to buy this stock but it sure looks pretty. The Big Picture will give a nice snap shot but if you follow the market it will just echo what the talking heads are saying. Lastly they are very heavily biased toward the NASDAQ, even though they lag it in performance and most certainly lag against the S&P 500. Also rising interest rates and any hint of a bear market will crush your performance but don't be fooled in trying to time-- timers never win. At IBD you might find some gains on an updraft of a bull market but will lose the death of thousand knives that all rapid cyclers die of. The idea of cutting loses short has been proven time and again to be flawed against a simple buy and hold strategy of good equities some of which you might find in their pages only if you can resist their urging to churn your portfolio with the blessing of their advertising discount brokers.”

“Be aware when you subscribe and pay for any promotion they will continue to charge you without sending statement! They put the auto-pay permission in their terms and conditions that you may click on without reading all pages!”

“We have been with IBD for over 20+ years. Stop changing the user interface without a justifiable user interface tests especially for life-time users. As you get older, it is more difficult to navigate thru the new and interface screens on the web. We used to get a daily paper and now I rarely get a weekly paper with my subscription. I was told the USPS delivers our paper (contractors for USPS) whereas, I used to get a daily paper reliably delivered to my doorstep. We used to get much better charting, along with products and tutorials as part of the subscription. We feel like you nickel and dime your customers vs. providing the same or similar services as before. It has gotten more expensive and getting less, unless you are a consumer of MS, Live, LB, and so many additions to the basic services package. I feel like IBD is always trying to upsell us even though it has taken away so many of the standard features with our annual subscription. so many of the seminars are upsell sales calls, again trying to get you to buy additional services. When I call in for an issue, I have found myself on hold for over 45 minutes and sometimes for what seems like hours.”

“After many years with IBD. IM NOW ready to drop them . Poor customer service. I can't access IBD LIVE anymore! They are trying to resell me as a pop up comes and blocking my access. Trying to resell for 24 dollars after there was free access. I can access through my computer but not the phone. I'm always on the go. Have called about this. But very frustrated! I pay a lot for this subscription! They apparently don't care!”

“I recently joined IBD Leaderboard service and I tried to book a coaching which was included in the package but they denied because I was a Canadian Customer. They charge you the same fees but cannot provide the coaching. This is complete BS service. If they do not provide the coaching to Canadian customers they should mention that clearly before anyone try to subscribe to their service. Also, most of their suggestion during my sub period failed.”

“I am doing good with SwingTrader! most of the times the price its already 1-2 points or more of the lower buy zone but what I do is just to do a buy limit and wait for the pullback... most time I will get it filled... Been making good profits in almost every trade! Thanks!”

“You'll never get the same return as their Swing Trader service due to delays in the alert vs their stated buy-in price. I place the trade literally within seconds of receiving the alert (browser, app, or email, whichever comes first). Yet I still lose 1-2% on average on the entry and sometimes even the exit. With their claimed average gain of ~4%, you're basically at a break even result (at best). When support was contacted they said "our developers have been made aware of this issue and are working on a fix. We do not have a estimated time frame for a fix" The whole exchange sounded fishy, which unfortunately has been confirmed by reading the reviews here and elsewhere. There is some type of game being played or other reason for delaying the alerts, and this issue is likely to never be fixed for the end user. Which is a shame, b/c if their entry prices are accurate this would be a great service”

Thank you for your response. Some SwingTrader users have expressed concern that a stock’s price is often well above the alert price when a new stock is added. That is often true. There is so much interest in the product that the price jumps almost instantly when a stock is added. It is not because there is a lag in the alerts. However, such spikes are usually temporary. You can take advantage of this fact in a few ways. First, consider using a limit order rather than a market order. Place your limit price within the suggested buy zone in the Trade Setup. If the stock pulls back after the initial frenzy subsides you will get filled at a much better price compared with a market order submitted soon after the alert. Some brokers offer a Time Weighted Average Price order, or TWAP. Select your limit price, number of shares, and desired time to fill the order. The broker will work the order until it is completely filled. Another strategy is to monitor an intraday chart such as the 5-minute. Look for a pullback into the buy zone or other area of support and then submit your order. For example, most stocks will retrace 25% - 50% of a strong move. If the stock jumped 2 points after the alert, you might place your order 1 point below the peak of the initially buying surge.

“Swing Trader does not so much more than point out the IBD stocks that are in the Buy Zone. You can get this info from IBD digital. I watched the ST intro for new subscribers with Chris & Mark which was a joke. They refuse to post buy stop prices in advance thinking the Market Maker will run up the stock. But there but points are almost the same as IBD’s Buy Zones. Other services post but prices in advance and this is not a problem. Alerts are too late. I expected more from a big company like IBD. The company has gone downhill and heavily emphasizes blasting ads at subscribers. IND should focus on service more than subscriptions. I will not be renewing mine.”

“I was not a subscriber prior to the COVID-19 market crash and as a result lost nearly 22% of my portfolio. After the crash I decided it was time to truly to understand the market so I purchased a subscription, studied, followed and participated in the market every day, and within 9 weeks my portfolio is nearly 9% above my premarket crash position. My real complaint is IBD nickel, dimes and up sells every product. I wish they introduced a tiered system, i.e., purchase leaderboard get IBD digital included in the price; purchase IBD Live get leaderboard and IBD digital included, etc. Their "founder member" price is astronomical, and frankly laughable.”

“I opted in for a 14 days free trial, but soon found out that this was not for me. According to the website where I signed up, there is a MyIBD option where you can opt out. Problem though is that this does not exist, and the customer service has not reacted to a ticket I have raised. Seems the only option left is to block my credit card. Shame on you!”

“I have been a customer of investors.com for over a year as it appears. the reason why I am not happy is that I signed up to their promo service to check if I would be able to benefit from their service. However, after a few days, I decided this is not the case and I followed steps to cancel my trial. a year goes by and I noticed that I have reoccurring charge of around $35. I contacted investors.com and spoke with a person. I was advised that my money was paid and they will not offer me a refund even I was not aware that I had an active subscription. Investors.com did NOT send me a monthly invoice or in any way contacted me when they collected money form my card. Sure it's my fault I didn't check my card properly, this was revied by my accountant and he assumed I am using this service. but not sending any remittance advice or invoice even they took money from my account monthly is a low blow. I would expect that kind of behaviour from shady business/ fraudsters, not a reputable business. to add to the insult support agent was rude, told me he is not going to discuss this with any longer and I should go away. I will avoid them like a plague in future!”

“ST has underperformed significantly in 2021 vs S&P 500, and requires more attention to trading once alerts are issued; I gave it 2.5 months, yet it was never profitable and more work than I was looking for.”

“I was charged for digital and print for 3 months but never received the print version. I called customer service and all I got was, "I'm sorry" when asked for a refund for print he said he could not do that. A company that hails themselves as "customer service oriented" they fell short in my mind. I will not subscribed if I pay for something I am not getting.”
