CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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: Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO),
Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE: BTU), America's Carmart, Inc. (Nasdaq:
CRMT) and Family Dollar Stores, Inc. (NYSE: FDO).
Today, Zacks is promoting its ''Buy'' stock recommendations. Four daily picks

Zacks #1 Rank Stocks have nearly tripled the S&P 500 since 1988,
producing an average annual return of +30%. 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 – Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE:
FLO)
Flowers Foods has distinguished itself from other companies in 2008 by
producing very steady investor returns. Much of the recent strength comes on the
heels of the company's excellent first-quarter results, reported on May 22.

How to Regularly Access Picks from the Zacks Rank Discovery for Free:
http://at.zacks.com/?id=88
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 is promoting its stock recommendations by offering four daily
picks free to those who register at http://at.zacks.com/?id=88.
