Another slow burn up. A little more dicey than other recs. Fundies are there, but a concentrated client base puts FLEX at risk of stumbling if they lose even one of their top 10 clients. Since they operate at the lowest end of the foodchain, their ratios are deservedly cheap, but perhaps too cheap. In a consolidating sub-sector FLEX is borg. All others have been assimilated so far. Growth Fund of America appears to be largest holder. They seem to know how to analyze stock...

Jabil Circuit beats by wide margin in Q4
Filed under: Earnings reports, Technology Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL), a provider of solutions to the electronics industry, as well as a business that counts Flextronics (NASDAQ: FLEX) as a colleague, has been in an uptrend. If you check out a year-to-date chart for the company's stock, you'll understand what I mean. And frankly, I admit that I've been too bearish on this situation. When I pontificated on Jabil's Q3 results, I didn't think the company was a strong idea. Well, it's gone up since then. <>So, what should we make of the Q4 results, which were reported Tuesday after the bell? Again, w...
