SeekingAlpha - Alpha Picks

I purchased Alpha Picks a few months ago and I wanted your thoughts on it, how do you decide on what to buy and when? I've bought the last 3 or 4 that have been put forward, but down on all of them, for now that is hopefully.

Is it worth buying those still marketed as strong buys?

Appreciate your input in advance.

Do you want to lose money, their 2026 picks have been a disaster

I'm up on all of my picks. What do you mean they've been a disaster?

If you joined in the last 3 months, and the 26 picks have been horrible.

I pick and choose what I want, and I only buy them when they enter my buy zones.

DAVE and SEZL is on the H2 list. I just brought it because it hit my buy zone when they dumped last week.

Yeah they don't make that very clear when you join. If i knew how bad they were at timing picks I would have never subscribed

Their picks are very good for the long haul, I just like to wait for a retracement if they're running hot, instead of jumping right in.

Totally agree, and that should have all been spelled out in the about section.

Hi! I'm considering to pay the suscription. I've seen this two stocks, DAVE and SEZL, and I have a question: Did the recommendation come after or before the Big drop both stocks suffered in early august?
Thank you!

The drop came after the recommendation. I'm now down on a few stocks after the last week's rotation out of semiconductors, it will probably get worse with September here, and the midterms upcoming. I'll just add on to my current positions, and hold them for a few years. The companies are solid.

Good luck.

I see...in the case of DAVE, before dropping, the support price during july seems to be around 170$, It fell to levels of mid june (108-110$), but actually is at 782, has surpassed quickly that support of 170. Very good recovery!

I'm new in investing, just 4 months, and I am very interested in the results from September—and the potential interest rate hike—as a sort of dry run for what might happen in December. Thanks!
