CHICAGO, Sep 24, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PRGN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Many value investors look for stocks trading at Price/Earnings multiples below 15 and Price/Book multiples below 3. Combining these valuation measures with a Zacks Rank of #1 ("Strong Buy") or #2 ("Buy") helps to ensure that a stock is truly undervalued. The High Rank Value Profit Track strategy finds such bargains - bargains that generated returns of exceeding the S&P 500 in 2006. Four stocks meeting this strategy's exclusive criteria are: International Paper Co. (NYSE: IP), DHT Maritime, Inc. (NYSE: DHT), Paragon Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: PRGN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) and Mack-Cali Realty Corp. (NYSE: CLI). View the entire list of stocks for the High Rank Value Profit Track at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2136.
