It is a good tool, but I wouldn't use advice from just one source. When investing your money, do some extra research on your own through multiple sources to make sure you agree with what one source tells you.

If you look at Hidden Gems or their Funds investor , you will see a very significant return but when you look at the last twelve months , for the most part, each pick has lost money. They take the total returns for the last 2-3 years - when the market was hot - and then give you their returns. The other thing they do is get a home run stock say a 75% increase for one month which then offsets the next seven months of losses. They do not try to hide anything . They are completely honest and up front . Otherwise they would not show the bad with the good. But I agree with the other respondent that to make money you need to buy every monthly selection to catch the "homerun" pick and offset the bad ones. I subscribe to their Retirement Rules " newsletter which has a model portfolio but does not try to pick stock monthly. This newsletter is one of the best I have ever subscribed to . It gives great advice, has excellent tools and welcoming message boards

Like the others said, they are one source of info, and a stock investor needs as much info as possible.
That said, I think they are one of the best services; Morningstar and S&P also have good recommendations.
They have several newsletters: I like the hidden gems, as you will get small cap picks on stocks that are not well covered elsewhere. Some of their winners include ATHR, DWSN, OYOG, IIVI, MIDD, and etc. The stock discussion boards are also good sources of info; free access with a subscription to a newsletter

They are good, not outstanding but good enough.
Remember to have the market trend in mind. During bear markets even the best stocks go down.

In general they give good advise on how to manage a portfolio. Their choices for investments are not great.
There are decent services out there. I like using Morningstar (for fundemental stock research) and MarketEdge for the technical side.
