Rather than AFCO you might look at GLW (Corning). They have already had a big run but are making money and have four different business groups; Display Technologies, Telecommunications, Environmental Technologies, and Life Sciences.

Their Display Technologies are similar to AFCO's products. The Environmental group has a next generation diesel catalyst filter that is now being installed in many European cars and trucks that must meet new EU pollution standards in 2006.

Their telecommunication group lost a lot of money in the dot com bust but recently have large contracts for their optical cable from Verizon that plans to build out Fibre to the Home in several test markets.

Nothing too exciting in their Life Sciences segment but they continue to sell product which is a slow and steady contributor to earnings.

I started buying shares at $12 and rode it down to $5 buying more shares all the way down. It's hard to add new shares at these levels but I think the upside potential is quite positive especially when their new revenue hits from their Environmental Business segment.

GLW is one of my top ten holdings. I own shares in both my taxable and IRA accounts.
