    Corning: Looking Very Cheap [view article]
    Look at their product lineup: Flat TV screens - not exactly flying off the shelves right now; Glass for mobile phone screens - I think it was GLW who said this week there's a "glut" of it on the world market; Those blue cornflower dishes you got from your grandmother - you didn't buy those, they were hand-me-downs. Those things are purchased every 2nd generation.
    Seems like waiting and watching is the best course of action. The market will be open next week and the week after. No need to jump right in because the P/E looks sexy.

    S&P is projecting a 12 month price target of 23. A 40% premium from the current price.

    I have been long GLW since 2007. It has been a slow motion train crash since then. So far it has been a losing investment. My guess is that GLW is transitioning from a "growth" stock to a "value" stock. The story is similar to Starbucks, another one of my losing position.

    "At a current price/earnings (P/E) ratio of 4.8 investors are anticipating continued demand trouble as the current estimates are for very strong growth of 32.6% year over year."

    That is very misleading. Trailing P/E is actually ~12 based on the $1.41 Corning made in '07. You are factoring in a 2B+ one time income tax gain into that 4.8 P/E.

    But of course, GLW looks cheap if we were to assume 13.5% growth for the remainder of the year. We could use the same logic when we stumble upon a stock with a 15% yield. Don't assume such things will hold true and you'll avoid the nasty trades. Reply

    Don't you worry about Cramer. When the market finally rallys (maybe a year from now), Cramer will be there to tell you "I told you so." Reply

    I just bought yesterday. Given the fact that there is a switch to digital transmission in the US from Feb 2009, consumers will naturally think of upgrading their TV sets. And my thesis is that they would move to flat panels which would benefit GLW. I see this back to the mid $20s by year end around holiday shopping season. Good time to pick this up cheap now. Reply

    Weekly TA,

    Is that just a guess or do you have any data to support your statement?

    Not Off the RIMM - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/3/08) [view article]
    Frontline is entirely on the spot market and in tankers for crude and refined products.Eagle is in dry bulk (limited to the Supramax sub-sector, has credit insurance on its charterers and 3-5 year time charters--with one ship on a 10 year charter--has an entirely different business model than Frontline). These are not at all comparable risk models, so Cramer's comment is irrational. Reply

    Not Off the RIMM - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/3/08) [view article]
    When the likes of Cramer finally get into an underrated sector like shipping, then the party is usually over.
    His 50% accuracy could easily be aachieved by a cave man.
    Lately he's been saying 'don't follw my recs. - do your own homework -an hour per stock followed'.
    What!?!!?
    My hour is now better than his full-time passionate pursuit of perfection??

    FRO for example has been despised by analysts for ten years, during which time it has payed excellent dividends along with some useful growth. You can also trade the rather predictable ups and downs.

    Cramer said to sell MGM and the casino stocks. What an idiot. He has been wrong on his picks over 50% of the time. That's why he makes money writing these articles and not making money as an investor. I like Zack's picks. They do a pretty good job on their recommendatios.

    The petroleum data show much much bigger than expected draw downs, and next weeks data are yet to come. Add Hanna, IKE, and Josephine to the equation. Then you come up with a scenario in which oil and gas seem likely to rise. Reply

    Correction: The data from the shut ins and damage due to Hurricane Gustave will likely not appear until next week. The oil and gas companies did not really shut in until the very end of last week. The not as relevant petroleum data is due out today at 11am EST.

    The market is starting to go down seemingly based on more bad news form the banking sector. LEH is struggling with KDB. MER and AIG are having similar difficulties with their balance sheets. Reply
