Momentum – Extra Space Storage Inc. (
EXR)
Since we last mentioned EXR as a growth and income stock back in
June of 2011, it was trading right around $20. Back then the
company had delivered a strong earnings report noting high
occupancy rates and other factors that encouraged them to raise
FY2011 guidance.

Value – Western Digital Corporation (
WDC)
The hard drive makers are still wrangling with the aftermath of the
Thailand floods. But Western Digital Corporation is bouncing back
and is still expected to see 78% earnings growth in fiscal 2012.
This Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) also is dirt cheap at just 7x
forward estimates.

Underlying the four free stock picks is a simple truth that
first appeared in a Financial Analysts Journal article
published in 1979. Leonard Zacks, a Ph.D. from M.I.T. found that
"earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force
impacting stock prices." Zacks #1 Rank is awarded to a
stock when analysts sharply upgrade their estimates of what the
company will earn.

four daily picks free to those who register here:
