Monday - January 21, 2008
 Dear Subscriber, In observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the U.S. equity markets are closed today. Those of you with personal portfolios on Zacks.com and Zacks Elite will not receive a daily portfolio update tomorrow morning. Rather the next update will be sent on Wednesday, with Tuesday's closing prices. Changes to the Timely Buys on Zacks Elite will be made tomorrow, with Tuesday's closing price used for recording the transactions. The daily updates for Breakout Trader, Champion Trader, Momentum Trader, Surprise Trader and Value Trader will not be sent out today. The next update will be sent out on Tuesday afternoon. The financial calendar for this week favors a rebound. More than 100 members of the S&P 500 are scheduled to report, many of which are in the energy, health care, manufacturing and technology sectors. This should help to draw attention away from the credit crisis. In addition, there is little economic data scheduled to be released. Have a good holiday and, for you Northerners, stay warm. Wishing you prosperity, Charles Rotblut, CFA 1. ZACKS RANK BUY STOCKS Zacks #1 Rank stocks average a 32% annual return.

The performance of the Zacks Rank portfolios shown above for annual and year-to-date periods are the linked monthly total returns (price changes + dividends) of equal weighted hypothetical portfolios, consisting of those stocks with the indicated Zacks Rank, assuming monthly rebalancing and zero transaction costs. These are not the returns of actual portfolios. The hypothetical portfolios were created at the beginning of each month from Jan 1988 forward based on the values of the Zacks Rank available to Zacks' clients before the beginning of each month. The portfolios created monthly from 1988 through September 2006 exclude ADRS and are comprised of stocks that have the indicated Zacks Rank and were covered by at least two analysts at the time of the stocks inclusion in the portfolio. Starting in October 2006 and going forward, the portfolios are comprised of all stocks with the indicated Zacks Rank and do not exclude ADRs, which is more reflective of the list of stocks that customers will find on the Zacks web sites. 2007 returns are for the period of Jan 1 - Jun 30, 2007. These performance numbers have been audited from 1995 through 2003 by Autschuler Melovan, a division of American Express Financial. The S&P 500 Index is a well-known, unmanaged index of the prices of 500 large-company common stocks, mainly blue-chip stocks, selected by Standard & Poor's.
