Hello Ike, Take a look at Jabil (JBL). Yesterday they filed with the SEC their intention to increase the number of authorized common shares from 60M to 120M. They have their stockholders meeting on Jan 28th to grant approval to the board's request for the above. All this seems as a prelude for a stock split. With the ECM sector on fire and JBL announcing earnings on December 15th, I think you can put a small part of your large cash position to good use by buying JBL! ;) BTW, Flextronic (FLEX), a Jabil competitor, recently announced great earnings and last week announced a 2 for 1 stock split. Good Luck! Regards, Karim
