Criteria for choosing a Stock Picking Service:
- Real time Alerts – Most of the time when you get in a stock will determine whether or not it will be a profitable trade. I like getting both email and SMS. Jason Bond is the only one who offers SMS with the base service.
- Chat Room – This is important to me but not critical. Since I work a full time job, most of the time I am not able to participate in the chat room.
- Educational Materials – This is critical for me, there is always something new to learn and the markets are always changing, so you have to know whats working now.
- Holding Period For Stocks – I am an active swing trader but by no means a day trader. I want my holding period for my stocks to be at least a few days.
- Day Trading Picks – I don’t daytrade very often, its too stressful for me but on my work at home days I like to do a few trades. Luke Murray with Jason Bond Picks is a master.
- Stock Pick Frequency – This goes along with the holding period, I don’t have time to enter 5 trades in a day. If I had more time during the workday, I absolutely would like lots of picks during the day. This is one thing I like best about Microcap Millionaires, his holding period is longer than most of the others.
- Options Trading – I like trading options, the leverage is unbeatable. You can easily make 2-3 times your money in a week. This is what I like best about Trading Addicts. He is the only one that trades options.
- Cost of the Service – They are all pretty much the same so this is not a factor.
So to summarize; If you are looking for less trading and longer holding times then Microcap Millionaires is your best bet.
If you are looking for a relatively short holding period and fairly active swing trading, plus day trading, then Jason Bond is who you should sign up with.
If you are or want to be a very active swing trader AND trade options then Trading Addicts is going to suite your style of trading best.
Overall, I would go with Jason Bond Picks if you are not sure, he has the best all around service. You can read my review here.
