Not worth paying for

Ah no, don’t bother using the site.
All you see are ads with as little info as what you want to research on.
Then if you want more in depth analysis coming from simply wall st which they’ve copied you have to pay for it.
This is an unbiased review and I ask you to try this theory yourself. You’ll soon find out if I’m lying

I love this site

I love this site. Thank you. Just needs price point little lowered for individual investors - one more thing please make portfolio tracker aesthetics improved.

I mean fonts adjustments - and graphs and so forth. Data is great but just needs more appealing to the eye as far as appearance.

Add a colorful highlighter feature and highlighter should stick next time we log in shouldn’t go away.
Thank you.

Excellent highly valuable advisor…

Excellent highly valuable stock advisor business. Loaded with scalable tools to make trading attainable for the layman. Excellent service and the more you put into the business the more you can get out of it. Free subscription is an excellent learning experience. I’m 100%
Positive that the subscription services would be an excellent investment that pays for itself
from utilizing the advise and tools within. Another amazing perk it the affiliate opportunity.

Worth Every Penny

I have been a retail investor for 20 plus years. My professional background prior to retirement also involved financial analysis.

I have used Gurufocus for the last few years.

In my experience, Gurufocus is a case of you get what you pay for. There is a lot of 'free' information online, about companies, but usually only for 5 years of data, maybe 10 if you are lucky. Gurufocus gives you 10-15-20 years fo data, its accurate, extensive and downloadable either as a pdf, excel or csv.

The search tools are excellent and allow for comparison across multiple companies. You can carry out DCF analysis or use Gurufocus' valuation tools etc etc etc etc. You get regular updates and news via email and you can choose to follow famous investors and their trades. The customer service is excellent.

In other words, if your thinking of putting your hand in your pocket and paying for a research tool, Gurufocus is highly recommended. I consider it one of the best out there. Well worth the money

Gurufocus is the best!

I subscribed to GuruFocus before the pandemic, and spent quite a lot of time learning from it. If you've ever traveled to a place where you keep discovering new things, the site is that kind of experience. Little by little I have grown more confident in my own investment strategy, because the site encourages the user to consider investing through the eyes of the best of the best (gurus, i.e. Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Joel Greenblatt, Jim Simmons, Cathie Wood, etc..). I love that it wasn't created by a finance person, but rather a research person. It shows. The price might seem steep on first glance, but the continued knowledge it has provided has more than made up for the cost. Love this site! It's worth at least a trial for those interested in investing.

My Key to Financial Independence

This is by far the best investment site for retail investors who don't have a Bloomberg Terminal. I can honestly say that Gurufocus is a big reason I was able to get to financial independence. Some of the standout features is incredible amount of financial data which can be analyzed in an easy format. The interactive chart feature is incredible and stock screener is the best on the web. The price is very reasonable for the value you are getting. GuruFocus regularly releases new features and recently they have released a discussion's forum where users can interact with each other and exchange information.

Analytics are amazing!

Analytics are amazing and the ways to customize screeners are amazing. They are constantly adding new stuff and have created plugins and APIs that can fully automate the data they provide to you own models. It’s all real data you can actually use. Highly recommend.
