I signed up in October a two years back. Bought lending club at recommended 18, then the stock market fell and LC went to 10 or so, it finally round tripped back to 18 and is around there today. Didn't try any of there other ones but it seems to me they announce quite a few after the have made big gainz.

I have a subscription and I have jumped on some of their alpha picks. The metrics they use for their 'quant' rating make sense, but don't always translate to profit. I have had good luck but my portfolio isn't 100% made of SA recommendations. Still have to do some due diligence.
The analysts who rate stocks on SA are mostly useless. Find a random collection of analyst picks via google, that's basically what you get from SA analysts.
They will identify 10 alpha picks at the beginning of each year, then pick two more each month. Over the past 12 months, their alpha picks, collectively, are up +39.29% versus the S&P500 at +16.19%. I listed this year's picks in another thread yesterday, I won't post them again in this thread because I don't want to get a note from Chicken for doing so
I like their stock analysis tools more than any other platform I've found. All the data for any stock, all in one place. I've only recently setup notifications, for example when a stock I hold gets a rating downgrade. I like that feature.

I might give it a Go.
I use to use Montley Fool and was loving it until right after covid when a lot of my picks started to tank.
Im finally in a place where I can start again. So Ill give SA whirl.
Thanks for the suggestion.

All of those subscription sites front run their picks. Know that going in. That doesn’t mean they aren’t good picks though
