Just read a great review on the company in yesterday's Investor Business Daily and picked up some shares because of it. Noticed that the stock is up 10 points or about 33% since it was downgraded in Feb. '98.

Outsourcing is a great way to save money and it is clearly a trend for the future. (I also have some Fidelity Select Business Services and Outsourcing mutual fund that has done very well.) This has been an overlooked opportunity, which could be a good indicator for future upside. It is clear from the article that they can perform the services a lot better than the client companies.

It is a very similar situation to Solectron (another holding of mine) that expanded from just an assembly source to also provide, R & D, shipping, billing, collection and so on. You can have an idea and, say, a website and SLR will determine how to make your product, manufacture it, sell it, pack and ship it, bill it and collect the bills for you. All you have to do is get the idea and cash your checks. SYKE could provide additional services as well. That kind of expertise usually spreads like water on a blotter.
