Grommit: I also have GLW (having swapped NT for it to capture a tax loss). Have become a bit cautious with this sector though. Here's an interview with Ravi Suria, discussing funding issues for the sector: thestreet.com
I think GLW is as good a play as there is in the sector due to diversification in areas like LCD screens...but there still could be pain ahead.
Regarding restaurants, I really liked the look of OSI but got cold feet when I saw the huge amount of insider selling, including Peter Lynch, who I beleive owns or has owned several of the franchises, apparently dumping his entire position.

Affirmative, Grommit. Still holding NWPX; also CAG, APPB, OSI, LNY among stocks which you've mentioned.

In addition to looking at JBX, I'm also considering IHP. Make a lot of their money from franchisees. Plus they own real estate that's worth more than book value (or so I have been told). Both just seem iffy to me though at current prices.
