  1. Corning reported 'better than expected' on Monday, still a big decline but says they have reached bottom.

    The stock has been flat since the report:

    With GLW at 16.78 I see two conservative bull put spreads for GLW for Jan 2010 expiration: the 12/7.50 and the 15/10. Here is a P/L table for comparison:
    ................................P/L...................
    ................12/7.50............15/10
    5.00...........(425)...............(405)
    7.50...........(425)...............(405)
    10.00..........(174)..............(405)
    12.00.............25................(205)
    15.00.............25...................95
    20.00.............25...................95
    ------------------------------------------
    Cost:.............425..................405
    Yield:..............5.9%...............23%
    Ann:..............11.8%..............46%
    Given the state of the world I'll take the 12/7.50.
