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

Momentum – Crocs, Inc. (CROX)
Crocs, Inc. just hit a new multi-year high after surging on excellent Q3 results that included a 4% earnings surprise. With an average earnings surprise of 177% over the last four quarters and a bullish growth projection, this Zacks #1 rank stock is a shoe-in for momentum.

Value – Cabela's Inc. (CAB)
The dark times of the great recession have passed for the specialty retailers. Cabela's Inc. recently reported record third quarter revenue as it surprised on the Zacks Consensus for the fourth quarter in a row. Despite hitting new highs on the results, the stock is still a value, trading at just 14x 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.
