Four Top Stocks to Buy as Wall Street Evolves

Top Stock 3 – Lincoln Educational Services (LINC)

Whenever we see new claims for unemployment rise, education leader Lincoln Educational Services (LINC) rallies
because it means that a large number of Americans will be out of work – and many of those laid-off workers will be going back to school to polish
their resumes or change careers. And with total unemployment likely to top out above 10% nationwide, LINC is a great way to capitalize on this trend.

In the first quarter, LINC beat analysts’ earnings per share estimate by a whopping 267%. I expect similar performance in the upcoming quarter because
in the last 60 days, analysts have revised their EPS forecast for LINC 171% higher. Positive analyst revisions typically precede earnings surprises
so this should be another fantastic quarter.

Not only does LINC have strong fundamentals, but it was listed on this week’s Investor’s Business Daily list of 100 top performers. Even
as the economy faces significant headwinds, demand for education continues to rise, especially for many of the short-term programs LINC offers.

Lincoln’s future is also promising due to the fact that the Obama administration wants to inject billions of dollars over the next decade into the
for-profit education sector. This stock is a great buy.
