Vector Vest is a black box system. It gives you commentary and advice, but you don't see the analysis, or all that is behind the recommendation. I rely more on technical analysis and charts than fundamental analysis and prefer to draw on all the resources I can avail rather than rely solely on their recommendation. Here's some commentary from another investment forum.
On One Hand: Lots of Good InformationVectorVest investment software offers buy, sell and hold advice, but its real value is in the detailed fundamental information it offers. It can analyze, rank and sort over 15,000 different stocks and provide detailed analysis of each, including value per share estimates, comparative scores, timing scores, suggested stop times and many other data points.
On the Other: Not to Be Used Blindly
A VectorVest subscription can be expensive at $645 per year. To get the most out of this, it should be used as a learning tool or supplement to an existing trading system. You will still have to do your own research and decide if a given investment is worthwhile for you.
Bottom LineVectorVest provides a great deal of information on all sorts of stocks and investment options. Whether it is worth a $645 per year fee is a matter of debate, but VectorVest is a good tool to have alongside your other investment strategies
