Sam, last weekend I decided to start investigating two stocks
which I think you recommended a few weeks ago... Corning and
Spectran (SPTR). Well, it looks like I may be late to the
party on SPTR... congratulations. I see it's resting a little;
just wondering if you think it's still a buy at these prices; if
so I'll continue researching. Also, GLW (Corning) just split into
various divisions; any advice on valuation now, it's a bit confusing
to me... GLW is still the ticker for the part that includes the
optical fiber business, correct?

By the way, I believe icefi.com has historical price and
discount to NAV data for CEF's, but at a nominal charge (I haven't
gotten around to subscribing yet).

Mike will no doubt answer your other queries; there are various
reasons for funds to sell at a discount including not just investor
neglect while the U.S. market has been doing so well (which one can
expect to change if/when foreign markets start outperforming the U.S.)
but also dilutive rights distributions (ask the fund for a history
of such shenanigans; some of them will have the info; also I
believe you can call up such stuff on a Bloomberg terminal if your
broker will do it for you). I would be very interested in knowing
of other (cheaper!) data sources that have a history of rights
distributions. I think Herzfeld publishes a book-format guide which
might take you through '95.

Cheers,

Howard
