At Zacks Trade, we’ve always been partial to independent thinkers. It takes courage to have faith in your own convictions and question conventional wisdom, especially when it’s your own money at stake. That’s why we treat every client with the utmost respect, regardless of their experience level. We’re committed to providing traders and investors like you with the cutting edge tools, research and customer support you need. So you’re free to pursue your investment goals the way YOU want.
We’ve championed self-directed investors since 1978, when our founder, Len Zacks, published a highly influential paper which first documented his innovative investment approach: analyzing earnings estimate revisions to predict stock movements.
Despite that growth, we’ve never lost sight of our roots. Zacks Trade retains our founder’s independent spirit and rigorous, analytical approach in every aspect of our business. We continuously strive to make sure you have everything you need to be successful – your OWN way.
Our Leadership Team
Len Zacks, Founder & CEO
After discovering that Analyst Estimate Revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices, Len and Ben Zacks founded Zacks Investment Research more than 40 years ago to help individual investors use the patterns in Estimate Revisions to improve their portfolio performance. In 1982, the Zacks brothers created the metric of the Analyst based Earning Surprise, which evolved into the “meet or beat” paradigm that now underlies much of equity investing. Building on their success with the Earnings Surprise, they developed the Zacks Rank; A stock ranking system that incorporates both Earnings Surprises and Estimate Revisions into a 1 to 5 Rank for each stock (where 1 is best). He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He holds the FINRA Series 7 and 24 licenses
