Gap at 39 just filled. Market overall is very weak so this could go down further. However, technically, the stock has just gained some added stability. Buyers should now feel more comfortable. I wish I had more cash to buy in here. Volume on JBIL is low relative to last couple of days so it's not like it's a stampede out as much as it was to rush back in.

Fenton, when are you looking to cover?

Fenton, I like to short stocks too but I would stay away from JBIL now!
There are much better shorts out there like ADTN and INTC, boh just recently broke support levels and I'm looking for them to go down further in the near term.

Yes, JBIL filled the gap but looking for continuing weekness due to MSFT and INTC. Looking to go long some time next week but still holdinng on to my losing Dec 40 calls.

Good Luck and beware Fenton!

Wrong!!! Stock going down because Plexus, another contract manufacturer reported horrible earnings. Plexus stock down about 30%. The whole sector is selling off because of that.

Investors don't understand that scale global players like Jabil, SLR, FLEXF, etc., growing at expense of players like Plexus, so they sell all stock in sector blindly. Jabil's business is obviously doing fine, and Plexus announcement is irrelevant to Jabil.

My opinion.
