SFDS.. beating estimates by 7 cents says it's comfortable with these high earnings through 1999.. I was a bit cautious about this stock but I think it's fine now.. SFDS has been an earnings play for the last 3 quarters, but I was concerned about the chart and possible earnings shortfall. It's an extremely fine long term/short term growth stock with good fundamentals. Not necessarily a daytrade, but easily a short term/intermediate hold. 6/10/98 - SMITHFIELD FOODS, INC.
