The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Anyone here know the company well?

Second verse, same as the first. I held GLW during the late 90s "information superhighway" hype. I pulled up a long term chart for GLW. It shows a spike to $113.33 in September of 2000, then hitting a low of $1.50 in August 2002, when the air had leaked out of the "information superhighway" hype. The chart also shows a low of $25.26 in October 2023, and a close Friday of $122.16. Pass the Dramamine. It has been so long, I don't remember how I did on that trade.

When I received my proxy, they enclosed a coupon for 10% off of Steuben Glass products. I never made it to a shareholder's meeting. Even if I had, I don't have an artistic bone in my body, so would not have bothered with the Steuben products.

My uncle reported that Corning's "Museum Of Glass" is a fascinating place to visit.
