For Immediate Release

Chicago, IL – December 8, 2010 – Four free stock picks are being made available today on Zacks.com. 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.

The four highlighted picks are: PriceSmart, Inc. (PSMT - Snapshot Report), South Jersey Industries, Inc. (SJI - Snapshot Report), Gardner Denver, Inc. (GDI - Snapshot Report) and Insight Enterprises Inc. (NSIT - Snapshot Report).

Today, Zacks informs investors of its ''Buy'' stock recommendations. Four daily picks are offered free at http://at.zacks.com/?id=5607.

Zacks #1 Rank Stocks have nearly tripled the S&P 500 since 1988, producing an average annual return of +28%. 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 – PriceSmart, Inc. (PSMT - Snapshot Report)
PriceSmart, Inc. shares were roaring thanks to the company's third consecutive earnings surprise. Then yesterday's announcement pushed the stock even higher.

Value – Insight Enterprises Inc. (NSIT - Snapshot Report)
Demand is strong for IT hardware and software as companies finally have started investing in their businesses again. Insight Enterprises Inc. is taking advantage of the surge in demand, as sales jumped 21% in the third quarter. NSIT is not expensive, trading at just 8.8x forward estimates.

How to Regularly Access Top Zacks Rank Picks Free: http://at.zacks.com/?id=7156

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.

Today, Zacks releases stock recommendations by offering four daily picks free to those who register at http://at.zacks.com/?id=7157
