Just went to raging bull and Fool to research message boards on Corning. Called GLW because of "glassworks." People started accumulating it in Dec back at 60 something. Heavy accumulation started around 110. It was in a lot of newsletters and word of mouth at that point. That's why you can see that 110 level as a strong plateau/support in the chart. It has been doing a steady volatile spiral upwards since then. Corning not only sold the housewares, they spun off Quest Diagnostics (DGX), Covance (CVD), acquired Oak industries (photonics firm), bought back their stake of the fiber business from Seimens (seicor). From one post: GLW is not a small company by any measure, at last look in the 35 billion market cap area. The optical areas that they manufacture in are for the most part not in direct competition with JDSU, the company is a global, technology-based corporation which operates in 3 segments: Telecommunications, which produces optical fiber and cable, Advanced Materials, which manufactures specialized glass products, and information displays, which manufactures TV glass panels for flat applications. I really like the story and am watching this one closely, thanx again to Steve. I agree w/ you about QCOM puts. But you are no fun for gossip this a.m....no PMs or anything. :-(
