This stock is seeing its bottom right now. It will never see 6 with a book of 8 and cash of 2.

I am not particularly technically oriented, and would appreciate a brief explanation of GLW's LEAF technology, particularly an answer to the question of whether all fibre will ultimately be manufactured with this sophisticated capacity, or whether there will continue to be markets for various types. And also, wasn't the demand in general supposed to go through the roof within the next few years because of increased need? Does SPTR have anything like this, or does it have a similar product in development? Thanks!

Do you have any information or links to information on GLW's new LEAF fiber. I cannot find anything on the Web or in Lightwave magazine or at Corning's site. I'm in for now but have a stop limit order to minimize my losses. I would like to understand this new technology to determine its effect on SPTR. I do not like the recent news about SPTR losing its contract with Corning or the fact that many competitors are building new production facilities. At book value verses stock price is SPTR ripe to be taken over? It may be less expensive to buy SPTR than build a new facility.
