Three

Powerful Stock Lists
that Don't Leave You
Exposed . . .

Dear Zacks.com User,

We’d like to share three portfolios that are designed for substantial growth as well as protection. Two are proven money makers that consistently crush the market. Plus, we just released our third that is destined to join the pack. Get the inside scoop on short-term trading, long-term picks, and companies that steadily pay dividends.

Since 1978, Zacks Investment Research has helped make a difference in the lives of individual investors like you. And, we extend that tradition by following the philosophy of Zacks' founder Len Zacks. His research has proven that revisions to earnings estimates is the single most important factor in predicting stock prices which is the backbone of the Zacks Rank.

The Zacks Rank is a quantitative model that uses earnings estimate revisions to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from "Strong Buy" to "Strong Sell". Since 1988 the Zacks Rank #1 stocks have returned +27% per year. That beats the average S&P 500 gain of only +9% during the same time period by THREE times!

The Zacks Rank is a continually updated predictor of movements in the market. With daily updates, you'll know right away when a stock is moved into the list of Zacks #1 Rank stocks - or when it's been moved into a #5 sell position.

Zacks Elite uses the unbiased Zacks Rank to create three portfolios that routinely surpass the S&P 500.
 

The long-term Focus List includes hand-selected stocks that are destined to outperform the market over the next 12 months. These steady champions pulled out from many different industries and market cap levels are consistent high performers. Since 1996 the Focus List has a cumulative return of +341.4%.

As the chart below shows If you invested $10,000 in the Focus List during December 1996 and held on through June 2009 your buildup would be worth 62,313 vs. only $18,253 if invested in the S&P 500.

Our shorter term portfolio, the Timely Buys, is poised to smash the market over the next 1-3 months. These stocks are selected from the Focus List and have a Zacks Rank equal to 1. Over the past 12 years, exclusive of fees, this list has compounded profits that beat the market by +533.9%.

Here are just three examples of Timely Buys' historical fast-paced gains . . .

• Footwear manufacturer steps up +60.3% in 11 weeks. Our gain on CROX computes to a yearly rate of +285%.
• Auctioneer bangs return of +46.4% in 10 weeks. BID's move annualizes at +241%.
• Power company blasts +22.3% in less than 5 weeks. ELP's jump annualizes at +232%.
   

Growth and Income portfolio, our latest addition, aims for earnings growth plus the stability of regular dividends. This portfolio is comprised of 10 to 15 stocks that have a Zacks Rank of #1 or #2 (Strong Buy and Buy). In addition, not only must a stock garner a dividend yield of 1% or higher, but must meet other fundamental parameters to be included as part of this prestigious set of stocks.

These stocks typically experience significant price increases during up markets while protecting you via dividend payouts in down markets.
