From 1988 through the present – a period that included serious corrections and recessions – the Zacks #1 Rank Stocks have nearly tripled the market with a fully documented average gain of +28% per year.

Here is a summary of today's selected stocks that are now highly rated by Zacks:          

Aggressive Growth – Procera Networks ( PKT)
Selling on the news doesn't always work. Procera Networks is a prime example of a stock that continues to move higher after an earnings announcement. With a big earnings surprise, a great growth outlook, and rising estimates it isn't hard to see why.

Estimates have been rising for Penske Automotive Group, Inc. after the company reported record results for its fiscal third quarter on November 2.

Momentum – Carrols Restaurant Group (TAST)
Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. recently moved back within striking distance of its multi-year high after reporting a 41% earnings surprise. With an average earnings surprise of 25% over the last three quarters and estimates on the rise, this Zacks #1 Rank stock is a tasty pick for momentum.

Value – Macy's Inc. (M)
Macy's Inc. recently reported yet another earnings surprise and raised guidance, but a bigger question still looms: what will happen this holiday season? Investors in retail stocks are very jittery this year. This Zacks #1 Rank (strong buy) is trading at just 11.3x forward estimates as uncertainty lingers about the health of the American shopper.

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. 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.
