re: contrary indicator

The so called experts are the best contrary indicator. Buy means they have a client that wants out. Hold or sell means they want to scare the shit out of you to sell. Fark em. they are in it for the bonuses nothing else other than to make money for the firm thru commissions and underwriting... What a joke. QCOM going to the roof. HAha just kidding!

I think ML just wanted some cheap shares.

GLW has a 12 month backlog, so what if they
have a few slow months?

I was a buyer today, it may not be the bottom,
but I was thrilled to be able to buy at these prices.

If I read ML's downgrade correctly, they maintain a
long term buy and still think it'll double in 18 months.

FWIW, ML sounds like another robber baron to me.

>Any more opinions on GLW here? <

One thing I don't believe is that the analysts will tell us when it is time to buy. Unless maybe we use them as a contrary indicator.

I'm using this downgrade as a contrary indicator, and an opportunity to add GLW shares.

Corning is currently involved in the area of genetic research. "Discover How We Are Fueling the Genomics
Revolution"

Genomics has the potential to transform
medicine as we know it, helping
scientists develop precise new
approaches to diagnosing, treating and
preventing disease.

The DNA microarrays manufactured by
Corning are a vital tool in this genomics
revolution. DNA microarrays give researchers the ability to study thousands of
genes at once and discover disease targets at a rate unimaginable a decade
ago. Our interactive tutorial will help you understand the science of genomics and
the technology behind DNA microarrays."

" Printing DNA Arrays on GAPS - DMSO protocolThis technical bulletin gives instructions for printing cDNA on CMT-GAPS™ coated slides using 50%
DMSO as a printing solution. It also
includes a step-by-step hybridization protocol.

Contact Angle and it's Importance
This bulletin describes hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and optimal surfaces as they relate to contact angle and microarray quality.

A Comparison of CMT-GAPS™ Coated Slides to Other Amino-Silane Coated Slides for Printing Microarrays
This technical bulletin, written by John Quackenbush of the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), describes his experiment comparing
CMT-GAPS™ coated slides with two other amino silane coated slides."

It is my understanding that the above discovery is felt to be by some in genetic research to be significant, since it greatly speeds up the time requirements for performing certain tests. There are many areas that make up Corning....and I hope this company surprises its critics, and shows its ability to do well during difficult financial times.
