Want to know a couple of today's hot communications stocks?

How about Corning Inc. (NYSE: GLW), which gained .54 (2.55%) to 21.74. Remember poor old Corning? It's up 40 percent since last spring.

And how about Powerwave Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: PWAV). It moved up 1.11 (9.79%) to 12.45. Powerwave has doubled in 12 months.

That's what happened, today, on a day that the Nasdaq lost .5%.
