 Zacks Elite Mailbag

How Can an income investor find any value in the Zacks Elite service? James, Florida

If I am starting to build my portfolio based on the focus list recommendation then is it advisable to pick stocks which were suggested few months back and have already gained enough or should I wait for new stocks to be added to the focus list. Also Is it good to buy new stocks if they are currently at Zacks rank 3. Kapil gupta, San Francisco

How do I build up my Timely Buys Portfolio, do you recommend buying all the current stocks in the portfolio or just buy the new addition stocks on the Monday's e-mail recommendation? Since the Timely Buys stocks have similar growth potential, should the money invested in the portfolio be equally divided among all the stocks? Thank you Jaime Lulli, Peru
