I was looking at your post and went to your profile. I saw this message. I new left the General Lithography thread, Dennis. I check it every day for entries and it is bookmarked. The General Lithography thread is a very technical thread for those that are up for it. It was never meant to be very prolific. Quality versus quantity amongst techies and very good laymane that do their homework.

And thank you for guiding me to this thread. It looks as if I have close to 300 posts to catch up on here. This is my kind of thread. UTEK is my #1 holding and a thread like this is like a gift.

I have jumped into this thread without any background content of this thread. This is simply a response to your post listed above. I am at General Lithography whenever anyone shows up and will be a visitor here now that it is bookmarked.

I leave it you to "warn" everyone about me here. I am very very biased in favor of UTEK and even when UTEK treats me wrong and I whine about it tiring me, I am still hanging in. Therefore, everyone should know I own a great deal of shares and stand to gain a great deal when this stock rises in value. With that said, my conscience is clear and I will be as objective as possible. However, my objectivity will be obscured by the fact that I have personally used this equipment for over 10 years in production. I am one of the biggest supporters of this stock and company and products.

I hope I can be a worthwhile contributor to this thread.

Regards
Andrew

PS-on the other matter that prompted me here. That stock is out of my comfort zone and area of expertise. The subject on that thread migrated to that area of the industry. I did my own research in that area (an area I was not familiar with) and came across that company as a player in that arena which looked better than some of its competitors. A great deal of the companies are scam-like or have a great deal of hype and movement around news. I could be wrong about it but another member of the thread became a bigger cheerleader than me. This is his area of expertise so I am sitting back and holding. You have to know that most of my shares are mid to high 9s so I am profitable but not as profitable if I had played UTEK for a couple of its roller coaster rides. I do not mention the stock too often because it is out of my comfort zone but I beleive it will be one of many that has a chance to perform. I would love to hear more about why you believe it to be a bad investment. And yes, it is play money here relative to the core semiconductor holdings where my strengths are.
IF nothing else, it was a safe haven for when the semis tanked these past few weeks.
