UTSI,

Another learning experience?

I wish I had looked at this 4 days later. I picked up 1000 shares after reading this and another article saying that UTSI was NOT a value trap.

I noticed today in retrospect that there was a lot of short interest in this stock. That is not a good sign --- shorts are pretty smart, and I don't like to buy stocks with poor price behavior and large short interest (OCA, SUP examples), since the shorts must have some reason to stay in their position --- i.e., seeing something fundamentally wrong with the company that is not in the current financials.

Also, I have not had good luck with DEEP value stocks with a wide following. Maybe I should stay away from them, as it seems a lot of people more knowledgeable than I am have found good reason to bid them down. Better to stick with my stocks that either no one knows about or are basically uninteresting.

Anyone else have thoughts?
