At the time the semi cap equip sector had already pretty well run and the majority of SETO's business resided in that area. Signs of decreasing revenues going forward may have tempered their plans a bit back then. Only a guess, looks like a solid business plan going into effect this time.

My recollection is that SETO has been profitable for something like 16 of the past 17 quarters. They got a newsletter recommendation about a year and some months ago and the stock went up from 50 cents or so to about 1.625 in one day. Then and ever since, it seems that the MM's have gone out of their way to kill momentum every time the stock deserved to go higher. Most people seemed to get frustrated and finally sold. It is much like what happened to WINR. SETO only recently greatly expanded their sales and product line through an acquisition and good management decisions. Their I/R is about to change too, I understand, which certainly can't hurt. Their market cap is low and the stock could easily double or triple from here if the MM's decide to let this Company's stock trade fairly. I hate to blame the MM's but on this one I have witnessed too many walkdowns and shenanigans. We might need one more really good news release to break solidly through $1.00, then the next resistance is 1-5/8th in my opinion. Good company, solidly run, good niche. That's my opinion, hope it helps

Congrats all LONGS! ...Recommended by Stk2Watch today, price target = $3.15; congrats to all longs, I think we are going much higher this week. We were going to get there anyway, but this should kick start us much sooner. SETO deserves to be at $2-3 I think, especially with news of their new high speed Internet products and other telecom products they will be selling. Patience often pays off well.
