I never ate at a JBX. First time I ever heard of it was back when there was a food safety scare. I think someone died after eating there from e. coli. Maybe that's why the stock is still low. I just go through Business Week at the end of the year and look for stocks that meet the criteria I'm looking for and then investigate those further. This is one that came up. I look ideally for low P/E, growth potential, past growth, good return on assets, and also a stock price that has risen in the past. This one met my value+growth criteria. Jones Apparel was another one. Now the P/E is a bit higher at 17 but bought in at 24. I noticed this one because Buffett was buying but now he has been reducing the holding. From TA it looks like it could go way higher. In this case I have some clothes made by them :) In both these cases the companies that analysts think will grow fastest for their sector have P/Es below the sector mean.
