AlphaYou vs. Moby Invest: Alerts You Can Act On vs. Picks With No Exit Plan
Moby Invest sends stock picks with price targets but no sell signal — here's how that compares to AlphaYou's continuous, broadcast filing alerts.
Direct answerMoby Invest delivers 3 stock picks a week with price targets — but its most commonly cited weakness across reviews is that it never tells you when to sell. AlphaYou sidesteps that entirely by not issuing picks at all, just the underlying filing data.
- 3 picks per week with entry price targets — a curated, opinion-based model aimed at newer investors wanting simple guidance. Independent aggregate trackers report Moby's picks averaging a 56.96% overall return; Moby itself claims a 10.86% average per-pick edge over the S&P 500, with roughly 73% of picks turning a profit.
- Across user reviews, the most repeated complaint is the missing other half of the equation: Moby tells you what to buy, but offers no structured signal for when to exit.
- AlphaYou was never designed to issue entry or exit calls — it alerts you to insider, congress, 13F, and government contract filings as they happen. There's no "sell signal" to be missing, because there's no "buy signal" either — just continuous primary-source data you interpret yourself.
