but Zacks #1 Rank stocks gained +43.8%.
Here is a summary of today's selected stocks that are now
highly rated by Zacks:

How to Regularly Access Top Zacks Rank Picks for Free
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.
Today, Zacks is promoting its stock recommendations by offering
four daily picks free to those who register here.
