MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The Editorial Advisory and Securities Review Committee of BetterInvesting Magazine today announced Fastenal Company (NDQ: FAST) as its October 2008 "Stock to Study" and Zions Bancorporation (NDQ: ZION) as its October "Undervalued Stock" for investors' informational and educational use. "The committee chose Fastenal, which operates stores selling industrial and construction supplies, because of the company's strong management and continued growth prospects," said Adam Ritt, editor of BetterInvesting Magazine. "Committee members noted its recent performance in difficult business conditions. For the Undervalued selection, Zions Bancorporation, which provides banking services in the West and Southwest, faces the same challenges as other financial services companies, but it operates in a growing region and has a solid growth history, and its stock is selling at a very reasonable valuation."
