>> I read somewhere on SI that Zacks does not consider individual company fundamentals in its recommendations. I don't know if it's true, though. It does seem that they look at the market through a rear view mirror.<<

Per Zacks: >> The ... ranking ... is derived entirely from a multi-factor model which analyzes the momentum of analysts' earnings revisions.<<

Pretty simplistic, except that i'm down a ton since mid-october while my partner, who relies heavily on Zacks, saw her porfolio emerge from the recent turmoil with a positive return.

I'm starting to develop a grudging respect for them.

BTW, her latest (11/15) version of Zacks shows MASK at a 4 ranking.
