This morning Goldman Sachs has announced some changes to its CONVICTION BUY LIST:

Amdocs (NYSE: DOX) is being added to the Americas Conviction Buy list with a 49% return potential to its target after its earnings report. Recent order flows should give the company a healthy 2008 with accelerating revenue growth and limited macroeconomic headwinds.
Automatic Data Processing (NYSE: ADP) is being kept officially as a Buy rating at Goldman, but it is being pulled off of the Conviction Buy List as part of a "moving away from macro-sensitive trends." ADP is down 15.5% since being added, slightly worse than the S&P at -14.3%, and it has underperformed the S&P over a 6-month and 12-month period.

In the larger Amdocs call away from macro-sensitivity, Goldman Sachs said it is also noting Synchronoss Technologies (NASDAQ: SNCR) as one of its best buy ideas (has a Buy rating). Goldman is also becoming increasingly optimistic on Syniverse (NYSE: SVR) (although it has a neutral rating today).

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)

If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.

Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.

But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.
