Corning Can Leverage Itself Into A Modern Industrial Growth Story
By Paul Nouri:
Corning (GLW) is no stranger to reinventing itself. Founded in 1851, since its beginning, the company has been at the forefront of the most innovative and efficient techniques in the mass production of glass.
In 1879, Thomas Edison asked Corning to produce bulbs for his invention, the incandescent light. After World War II, the company began producing the glass bulbs for televisions on a mass scale, making them affordable for families across America. At around this time, Corning formed a venture with Dow Chemical (DOW) to start Dow Corning, a company focused on the production of silicone which to this day produces approximately $ 5 billion in annual revenue.
In 1957, the company expanded its focus into kitchen plates and started the Corning Ware brand, known for its durability. In what would eventually lead to the company’s market value surpassing $ 100 billion in 2000, Corning scientists developed leading edge fiber optics

Potency Score System: Best Dividend Growth Stocks For January
By Stocks 1:
The objective of the Potency Score System, which I introduced in October, is to rank dividend growth stocks according to their potential for sustaining and returning the highest dividend value to shareholders. These companies tend to have been paying dividends for many years and consistently increasing it. Since growth of dividends requires earnings growth, these companies tend to produce respectable capital gains as well.
Using a multitude of fundamental data and metrics and their interrelations, the system calculates and assigns a Potency Score to each stock. Empirical data as well as theoretical concepts are applied throughout the system. The higher the score, the higher the potential for better dividend returns.
The system has been rapidly evolving and now has little resemblance to when I first introduced it. This month’s list of stocks with the highest Potency Scores is the product of the new Version 4.4.

Cramer’s Mad Money – The Elixir Of Employment Growth (1/5/12)
By Miriam Metzinger:
Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Thursday January 5.
Netflix (NFLX)
The elixir of employment growth is reviving the market, and the Dow dived early on Thursday only to rebound and close down just 3 points. With improvements in employment, the U.S. may be less vulnerable to European woes, will see a stimulation of industrials, retail and financials. Employment will improve consumer confidence and may awaken the tired housing industry.
Cramer took some calls:
Netflix (NFLX) is a stock Cramer regrets not telling investors to get out of soon enough. It has risen 8 points on takeover rumors and news of improvement in subscriptions, but Cramer thinks Netflix will continue to go back and forth and doesn’t want to own it.

The Best Growth Stocks of 2012
Thanks to a big drop in sales in 2008 and early 2009, a wide number of companies were able to post impressive revenue gains in 2010 and 2011, as demand for goods and services returned to normal levels. But this might be the end of it: analysts expect sales growth to be much more muted in 2012. In fact, only 23 companies in the S&P 500 could be register sales increases of at least 20% in the coming year. In addition, a number of these firms could only hit this mark due to recent acquisitions, which underscores my belief that deal-making will be a prominent investing theme in 2012.
So where can you find growth in the coming year? Here's a list of the select few candidates that could actually post revenue growth next year. Take a look…
For starters, it's impressive to see Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN), Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) and Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN) on this list. These companies are already quite large, and robust growth should be hard to come by at this stage of their businesses. Kudos to their respective management teams for keeping their feet firmly applied to the gas pedal.
