Welcome back Paul. I believe things will start trending up today especially since the Sanm report was good and Jabil was recommended. Glad you're back.

Welcome back Paul. Good news from a company I know you have mixed feelings about: EPS SURPRISES: SFLX: EPS Surprise of 30.00 % reported on 04/13/98. Actual primary EPS from continuing operations before all non recurring items was 0.13 for quarter ending 03/98. The consensus estimate for the quarter was 0.10. Best - Joe

Paul, Sigma Circuits is out this morning with very good earnings and revenues for their Q3. This is another indication that the industry is not really "Asia-bitten" after all!

Paul, Hope you had a good time. Did you drop by Slovenia? I have been out looking at flowers in the California Desert so missed SFLX and PLXS CCs. With El Nino there are lots of flowers. Ran out of Film but not water. A group of Germans I know one night in a local wine stubl decided to get together and buy a villa in Tuscany as a future retirement home so they could grow old gracefully. Let me know if you are interested. I also sold my April FLEXF calls to raise cash. Must be reading too many of Paul Senior's posts. Tommorrow thinking of selling some Jabil 35 Sept Puts for around $5 each. I believe in the Rosemary etc Posts. I don't understand HDCOs demise. Combined Revenues down about 15% and Margins halved. SANM had no such problems. SANMs assembly strategy seems to be working. But both HDCO and PGTZ are hurting. Part of the problem they say is ASIA below a layer count of 8 which is 40% of revenues and how long before it hits the more complex boards.Also for HDCO indigestion. But the damage is in the stock now and I think it is a buy and not worried too much about my $40 October puts I sold. Good way to raise cash if you don't mind owning the stock at that net price. I could end up owning more DIIG though. I think you sold PLXS too soon but...I am also sitting on my ACTM shares which are even more now due to wash sale purchases. Hope you are right about ACTS trends. I am waiting for May 13 report and cc and think you might be right about the reason for delays. Anyway glad to hear from you again. Rich
