CHICAGO, Sep 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Four free stock picks are being made available today on Zacks.com. The
industry's leading independent research firm
highlights one Zacks #1 Rank Strong Buy or a Zacks #2 Rank Buy stock for
each of the four main styles of investing: Aggressive Growth, Growth &
Income, Momentum, and Value.

The four highlighted picks are: Warnaco Group, Inc (NYSE: WRC), SPX

URBN) and Agrium, Inc. (NYSE: AGU).

Zacks #1 Rank Stocks have nearly tripled the S&P 500 since 1988,
producing an average annual return of +30%. 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 -- Warnaco Group, Inc
(NYSE: WRC)

Warnaco Group is trading much higher after a solid earnings
report in August. The company continues to pressure its 52-week high and

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.

Today, Zacks is promoting its stock recommendations by offering four
daily picks free to those who register at http://at.zacks.com/?id=88.
