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.

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 – Covenant Transportation Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVTI)
Covenant Transportation Group, Inc. has made a big turn around and is not trading at multi-year highs. Analysts are making drastic estimate revisions on the heels of the most recent earnings report.

Growth & Income – Eaton Corp. (NYSE: ETN)
Eaton Corp.'s better-than-expected second-quarter results were driven by continued strength in its end markets. The company also expanded its profit margins, which helped boost its earnings growth. Moreover, management anticipates solid global growth to drive its results in the second half of 2010.

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.
