If anyone is interested the GLW secondary offering was priced at 151 3/8. Glad to have that out of the way. Should be all clear for big gains going forward and a stock split in the near future. I bet they wanted to wait until after the seconday offering before announcing a split.

Agree. P/E less then 1/3 of JDSU. Nice coverage on moneyline tonite. I have sold puts sept 110's starting several days ago. The CEO really seems to be with the program. Fiber optic cable to provide 80% of the revenues for GLW next year per moneyline this pm.

750 million dollar upgrade to increase production capacity. Apparently as I understand it all of the fiber optic cable they can produce for the next 2 years is already spoken for.

Steve, I've enjoyed your posts on the G & K option thread and have followed you here. If I had the wherewithal(sp), I would have followed your suggestion earlier in the week on GLW. Just didn't have the guts, I guess, to enter a new position. That being said, would you post when you are planning on adding to your position. I am heavily weighted to QCOM, Jdsu and to a lesser extent, NOK and EMC. I think GLW looks like it should be in my portfolio, but have bought at the top too often. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Bruce

Will do. I would be patient. I remain concerned about the market and have been selectively adding to naked put positions. My thought has been to do this with stocks that I really want. My thought with GLW was 147 better then 172 (sold 30 contracts at 147) with effective price of 99 when contracts expire in Sept. This would P/E of ballpark 35 on a stock with earning growth of 30% per annum with expansion of earnings likely going forward over next 1-3 years. I share your concern about buying at too high a price. Recently when JDSU pulled back to the 180's I sold Sept 220 puts. This is an aggressive position but I feel comfortable. I sold Aug 320's BRCM calls naked last day or 2 at 71/share. In short term I don't think price of BRCM is sustainable at 320+. Might check out IBIS they have interesting chip technology. Steve

Could you fill us in more about APAT, why you like it and the technology you refer to. What other names do you like in the fiber optic sector especially up and comers (if any). Thanks. Steve

I liked GLW very much. They are the Blue chip for optical fiber. In addition, GLW is buying many passive/active fiberoptic component companies. They brought OAK to inter fiberoptic transmit/receiver business, they brought an optical thin film filter company in MA to enter DWDM filter business. They started passive fiberoptic component business. They proposed to merger with ETEK, but the price was too low. They are in the right track and they would be a big competitor to JDSU. This stock is still very under valued.

OWC provides fiber for GLW. It is low now.
