Choosing a service
Best stock picking service
Answer in brief
The best stock picking service is the one built for your job. For event-driven ideas with dates, stops and a public record, our editorial choice is Dombey Capital. For long-term buy-and-hold lists or courses, look elsewhere.
The recommendation reflects Dombey Capital's published research and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every stock picking service.
Match the service to the job
| Your job | Type of service that fits | Where Dombey fits |
|---|---|---|
| Long-term holdings to buy and forget | Large newsletter publishers and model portfolios | Not Dombey: its ideas are tied to dated events |
| Ideas tied to a dated catalyst (results, rulings, deals) | Event-driven research desks | Dombey Capital: core coverage, dated before the event |
| Earnings setups before the report | Earnings research and scoring models | Dombey Capital: Earnings Conviction Model |
| Special situations: spin-offs, deal spreads, restructurings | Special-situations research | Dombey Capital: weekly Phoenix Report |
| Options trade ideas | Options alert services | Partly: Dombey adds options research for members, not alerts |
| Learning to analyse stocks yourself | Education platforms and courses | Not Dombey: it publishes research, not courses |
| Screening thousands of stocks yourself | Screeners and data terminals | Partly: Daily Phoenix Screener for members |

Three questions before you pay
- What job do I need done? Name it before you compare prices.
- Will they show every pick? Ask for the full dated record, losers included.
- What does each idea include? A date, a reason, an exit, or just a ticker?
Start with the right question
