Zacks #1 Rank Stocks have nearly tripled the S&P 500 since
1988, producing an average annual return of +26%. Performance has
been notable even during volatile and down times. For example,
during the last bear market, 2000-2002, the market tumbled -37.6% –
but Zacks #1 Rank stocks gained +43.8%.
Here is a summary of today's selected stocks that are now
highly rated by Zacks:
Aggressive Growth – Lindsay Corp (NYSE: LNN)
Lindsay Corp has been on fire after being featured as a Zacks
Rank Buy in October. There was a small hiccup in the earnings
outlook but things are back on track thanks to news from a
competitor.

How to Regularly Access Top Zacks Rank Picks for Free:
http://at.zacks.com/?id=7154
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. in Mathematics 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.
