Thursday - January 24, 2008
 Dear Subscriber, Yesterday was pretty much as volatile as it gets, and the afternoon volatility sure worked in our favor. While I would like to announce an end to the selling pressure afflicting the markets, it is simply too early to make such a call. More buyers need to come in and support the rebound. If not, we are likely to see lower lows. Earnings could have an impact on market direction. Keep an eye on what companies are saying about their outlook for the first quarter. The Fed will meet next week. An additional rate cut could be issued, which should be a positive for the markets. As I said last Friday, I am hopeful for a rebound this week. It is too early to say that this was the correct prediction, but yesterday was a step in the right direction. Wishing you prosperity, 1.

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.
