Rocket stocks are beaten down stocks with a short-term catalyst for growth and long-term investment potential. Here's this week's list.

-
EFX
Equifax Inc - $28.78
- 0.00%
- $28.83
With a recovering credit market and finances in disrepair, Equifax's stands to profit. This credit score vendor has managed to hold well in a rough economy, but recent knocks could have this company priced attractively for long-term investors.

-
AFG
Amer Fin Grp Hld - $24.61
- +0.12%
- $24.50
Even if insurance isn't your idea of a great investment right now, this best-in-breed insurer has taken the same market beating as its better known competitors (like AIG) while maintaining a more conservative -- and now more profitable -- investment portfolio.

-
SRCL
Stericycle - $54.10
- -0.09%
- $54.15
Profit from aging baby boomers with this medical waste company. While this stock has managed to maintain its value in spite of weak markets, the growth potential for Stericycle is currently its most compelling feature.

-
TIVO
Tivo Inc. - $10.66
- -1.57%
- $10.76
While this DVR maker has had its ups and downs over the course of the last month thanks to legal battles, this company's brand recognition and strong vault of intellectual property make it an attractive play even now. The gap down TiVO saw last Thursday makes now a compelling time to get in.

-
PM
Philip Morris Int - $49.73
- -0.82%
- $50.01
While this cigarette-maker's sales have languished somewhat in the last two quarters, Philip Morris is far from down and out. The company recorded almost $1.5 billion in profits, and the current recession is only prompting more and more people to take a "smoke break".

-
C
Citigroup Inc - $4.20
- -1.41%
- $4.19
While Citigroup certainly doesn't qualify as a rocket stock right now -- for far too many reasons to list -- it has taken a bigger hit over the course of the last week than its banking brethren. Traders take note.
