Cary - Re: Zacks as a contrary indicator....

> Have you any "proof" to support your finding?

Remember that Zack's ranks are based a lot on earnings momentum. A high rank (1) means high positive momentum. A low rank (5) means impending doom. When AMAT was at $24 last summer, SGI was at $13 in April, and KMAG was at $15 recently, the Zacks ranks were all 5. (SGI may have been a 3 at that time but somewhere in there it was a 5) As of last week when I dumped my AMAT at 100 3/4, the stock was rated a 1. SGI having since doubled is now rated a 1. This accurately reflects their earnings momentum model since all of these companies had earnings problems/uncertainties at that time they were ranked 5. This is why I use it as a contrary indicator to find bargains.

But yes... Old Ben Zacks would probably roll over if he knew how I was using his system! ;-)

Jeff
