EXACTLY when will earnings be released? Can anyone tell us if the release will be March 17 or 18 (we've seen both dates posted as earnings release dates), and will it be prior to market open or after market close? What has JBIL done in this respect in past releases? Cutting through all the worry, all the (understandable) concern, all the hype, all the speculation, and everything else we see posted about this stock, PLEASE everybody-- do not lose sight of this: JBIL is one fantastic company, whose future looks bright, and whose stock is about as safe a long-term investment as you can own. Despite what specialists do with this stock on a daily or weekly basis, does anyone-- I MEAN ANYONE-- think that this stock will not continue to climb over the next two years? If it continues to grow-- even at a rate that's HALF of its current growth rate (although that's unlikely), is there anyone who thinks that it's going to remain at its current price? And let's say for a minute that it DOES remain at its current price for a WHOLE YEAR: with current rate of growth, the stock would have a PE ratio of LESS THAN 10. Now let's say for a minute that the price remains around 40 for TWO YEARS: the PE ratio would be around 1. Does anybody think that a great company like this will have a PE of 1?! BOTTOM LINE: Buy this stock, "put it in the bank," forget about it-- in fact, we implore you to not even bother looking at the trading price for several months-- then, late summer, early fall, take a look, and we believe you'll be most pleased at what you see. Keep in mind, THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE APPRECIATING STOCK FOR 1997 (1800%!). It accumulated lots of big players over the last few years-- that is one reason it's so volatile. Smart money knows that JBIL has explosive potential unlike almost any other stock in the market. The re-explosion question is not if, it's WHEN. Nobody knows when mighty JBIL will make another run, where the bottom is (or was), and where the top will be. One thing we know is, we're not touching our existing JBIL shares, no matter how low the specialists take it short term. One day, JBIL's going to start another one of its incredible runs, and we're going along for the ride! Until then, enjoy you're vellocet, synthmesc, or drencrom (booby prize to anyone who recognizes where this comes from).

Rosemary, I enjoy your posts, thanks! I bought 200 shares of JBIL last Thurs & Fri. and a June 40 call. I have been doing some researchs in the last two days. So far I have not found any bad news. I got this from Schwab website - Company News (Jbil): Dow Jones Online News reported on Feb 26 that "Jabil Circuit continues to tell a bullish story..." at BancAmerica Robertson Stephens Tech. Conference on Feb.25. This date was only 4 days before the end of Jbil's quarter, so I ASSUMED that the company rep. knew something about this quarter's earnings/sales. I ordered First Call Earnings Estimate Report on 3/10: BUY rating and Beta of 1.2. EPS Rank from Investor's Business Daily is 98. Average Recommendation from Yahoo Finance: 1.4 (Ranking 1 to 5; 1- strong buy & 5 - strong sell) I also looked at their last earning report which was excellent. Is there any negative news out there that I don't know about? I would appreciate your response. Thanks, Yani
