VectorVest

I signed for a 30 day trial. I never received log in credentials although I wrote several emails to the company. They gave me access after the 30 days. I wrote to the company to cancel service immediately. They never respond to emails. This service is useless. I finally was able to speak to a man who was extremely rude and unprofessional. He was condescending and verbally abusive. This company is a scam and they should be reported to the authorities. I am now disputing all the charges they have done on my credit card.

VectorVest helps me make better trading decisions. Even in a down market I'm making money. I made 25% on a stock in one day. I couldn't believe it! Thanks for the pick VV, keep 'em coming.

Absolutely not worth it. Their platform crashed last year and they haven't refunded what I'd already paid for a service that was not provided. I've lost money by following their "hot stock picks". Nothing you can't find by yourself.

I've used VectorVest for several years, but am now stopping. It's because I checked their data against another source (MSN.com), and found that it's unreliable.
Upon consulting with their support folks, I learned a surprising fact: VectorVest does not report earnings, but only ESTIMATES of earnings. Even after the quarterly earnings reports come out, if the estimate is wrong, even wildly wrong, they will keep the estimate data in their history.
EXAMPLE: Comparing Facebook from July 2019 to June 2020.
VV shows revenue steadily increasing month by month. MSN shows that revenue peaked in December 2019.
VV shows earnings stuttering for the first 3 months, then going steadily upwards from then on. MSN shows that earnings peaked in December and never recovered to the earlier level.

I attended a webinar, where I did not learn much about options trading. I could see through the juicy bits that may entice you. The host made a hardsell towards the end of the hour to buy a $2000 value options course for $495, and then suggested buying it for $295 with full money back if we buy RIGHT NOW before the end of webinar. Great, I was almost convinced, so I did a hygiene check on Trust Pilot.

Holy cow! These guys DO NOT ALLOW CANCELLATION on email or online? Read and repeat that once more. You need to call (where some desperate sales association on commission pleads with you to stay on), and the options trade software after the course is $295/mo.

So you cannot cancel, you need an expensive software (which apparently is buggy and not very reliable), and customer service simply does not exist, unless you post a negative review on trust pilot. No thank you!

I am simply writing this to alert other prospects to do their homework before giving in to sleazy sales tactics. I almost did.

Oh also, they send a ton of emails.

This an excellent platform that provides strong tools with daily commentary to support your trading success. They post an excellent weekday post market update with analysis of the days events and the impact on the market and the timing and direction of the market. If you follow the market commentary you will optimize your ability to get in to the market and when to get out. I have been a member for 8-9 years and taught some classes and attended an excellent member group whose objective was to answer questions and train individuals to learn how to optimize the platform and build effective strategies. The best charting system I have seen. I will say I have been trading and investing for 40 years and wish I would have had this system my entire career as an investor. I have had a very successful investing career but it has become even better with the Vector Vest Platform.

Stay away! They have an awful tech experience requiring you to use outdated tech for their platform on a mac. As a 40 yr. Old tech worker i found it impossible to figure out how to actually get logged into the platform. After an hour I gave up and went to cancel. Been waiting on hold for over 60 minutes.

Clearly a platform company on the decline - STAY AWAY!

I did not find that this program integrates well with other trading tools. I never used the trading information. Trying to cancel the subscription was difficult and costly. First, you are put on hold for 15 minutes. Next, they want to offer you training. Next, they offer you discounts for other Vector Vest products. Why would anyone subscribe to other products when you didn't like the original? Finally, they renewed my subscription for another month and they do not offer refunds. Unless you really know and like this platform... stay away

I watched in a free webinar titled "How To Generate 3% Per Month With One Option Trade Per Week." This course is a trick; the title is misrepresented.
1. This webinar was really an advertisement for a expensive course on option selling.
2. The topic was not explained in detail, except to say that selling Put options was how they did it.
3. The chat room was not open. It was mentioned that participants could ask questions in the chat room, but that was not so.
4. Apparently this webinar was a recording of a prior webinar of the same name.

I signed up to the trial, didn't find much use for the service, emailed them several times asking to disconnect before the end of the trial but they ignored my requests and charged me $289 anyhow.

Companies with a service that has real value don't act this way.

It will help you make money in the stock market with ease. It has wonderful indicators that you cannot find anywhere else!

Lost almost 10 k with their suggestions! Cancelled on phone with the guy named Chris on April 22nd within trial period but, still charged $137 for next month. NO confirmation email sent by him. Extremely long wait time 30 min.
Glad used Amex for purchase, always helps.

I used VectorVest for 6mo, I dont recomend it. Software has too many problems for the price they charge. One month it was down 100% for 2 weeks and when they got it back up, it was having too many problems. They told everyone we were getting a refund and I never got one, plus I got an extra charge and when I asked what was that charge they told me they didnt know and I was going to get a call back. Never got a call or refund. Stay away, this company is greedy and dishonest...

Tried the service for 2 months, not very good at all especially the derby, the guys don't have good suggestions, and the trading styles are not effective. Others in the derby also commented on it not being effective as noted by the fact that the narrator even read it to the group. Called and canceled effective the end of the month and they still billed me an extra month and refused to refund the extra billed amount of 167.00 dollars. You can get all of their features in the Think or swim platform except the derby and robo trader, so not really worth the investment

I emailed, called them and chatted with them to cancel my subscription. They are nothing less than thugs. Worst scam ever. Beware! It cost me >$500 for services I never used and for which I cancelled my subscription. Worse than the mafia!

I've been a trader since 1984, recently transitioning to investor in early 2023. I have used Vector Vest (only) since the '90's. I will not buy or sell stocks or options without doing my VV. Homework. If you don't get the results you were expecting, I suspect the problem is not the product, but the user. Not everyone's personality is compatible with the irrationality of the markets. Most people underestimate how long and how much training it takes to become good at it. The trick is to get enough practice to become proficient before you run out of money learning.

There is no where on the app or website that allows you to cancel your subscription. The only way to cancel is to email them, which I did. But they still continued to charge me! Most fraudulent company I have ever seen. Horrible company and horrible people.

The tech support is the worst tech support in the industry. The tech support is handled by incompetent, lazy people that know nothing about Vector Vest. These are glorified phone operators that are only capable of re-set the password. If the software is not working correctly, they tell you to shut down and re-start several times, and if it still does not to work to try the next day. They refuse to transfer you to a computer expert to solve your problem. If there is incorrect stock information on the software, they say they know nothing about the inner workings of the software and have no interest in correcting it.

I use it with IBD. I find that the combination of IBD and Vector Vest excellent cell phone app can't be beat. The app is great for following a portfolio so that you know where you are with a stock and also setting up watch lists. I get most of my stock picks from IBD. Best thing to do is turn off all VV emails.

They are nasty... they Don't respond to emails. And make it difficult to cancel service within trial period. They also have attitude and hang up real quick.

Called tech support 3 times on three different days, each time i was on hold for more then 90 minutes and then they hangup on me... i am 12 years vectorvest user... no respect to all time customers.
They are the worst tech support i have ever experience

I've been a subscriber to VectorVest for +10 years and have taken many of their educational classes. The platform is as conservative as you wish and the classes and follow-up have never disappointed. In late 2016 I took a course called Paycheck that covered Spread Trading. It was IMPRESSIVE and thorough. I took a spread trading course years before but this was fantastic for detail and complete training. The next 12 months I pocketed over $110,000 trading SPX only while risking only $20K at any one time. (I lost $30K of that $110K because I didn't follow the plan) The instructor's name was Ron. Learn from him!

Scam Website, Fake Trial and then Take your Money Scam. Just please be smarter then I was for the sake of the human race. Peace
