rated by Zacks:

How to Regularly Access Picks from the Zacks Rank Discovery for Free:
http://at.zacks.com/?id=88

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.

daily picks free to those who register at http://at.zacks.com/?id=88
