I have never used it although I did have a two week subscription to IBD some years ago. I find it quite compelling. If it were not so expensive, I would use IBD. I do like the way they analyze stocks and find the best of the best on a current basis. Makes me want to get a trial subscription now because I'm dying of curiosity to know what is on the current list. I would do that and get as much info, find some stock or two I believe in and give it a go then cancel when the trial was over, just to try it out you know. I bet the stock I am currently invested in has probably been on the list this year and may be now. i use Fin Viz stock screener which is free and various criteria to help find growth stocks plus Bar Chart and sometimes yahoo finance. But I would love to have regular access to IBD.
