Perhaps "LT BUY" means throw in all your earmarked cash immediately and "LT ACCUMULATE" means dollar-cost-average your earmarked cash over some future period.

Just bought in today after being out of UTEK for almost a year now.
Just thought I would put in my 2 cents. There is strong support at 20
but we could see 18 with a quick bounce back to 20. I woulden't worry about the downgrades, My dream is one day the market won't listen to the heard mentality the analysts seem to have. None of them think for themselves, and when they try they are ususually wrong.

That is one step down from long term hold, short term sell.

What is the difference between buying and accumulating?

I believe that to "buy" is to take a chunk of money and buy a substantial position. To "accumulate" is to keep nibbleing away at buying a bit regularly or when you feel there's an opportunity. To accumulate is to add a bit, not to create a big new position.

Accumulate is a lower rating than buy, but it's higher than hold.
