Good points. Even the much-maligned (by Brinker) KO is just about 7% off its highs while UTEK is 30% underwater. (Disclaimer : I own neither KO nor UTEK). I am sure a lot of the guys here will rush to Brinker's defense with the "Do you expect him to be right all the time?" argument. And to them, I would ask whatever happened to the "Bob will not recommend any individual stock unless he understands it very very well" mantra? Dipy.

Rillinois: A provocative and well-reasoned post! Still and all, I am long UTEK just because Bob B. said "buy it" and I have gotten too much valuable advice from him over the years to ignore this one. If he says it's gonna hit $40 in a year or two, that's good enough for me. I'm using the current lows to bulk up on my position and I'm using covered calls to cheapen my cost basis. But I'm surprised more followers of this forum haven't jumped to Bob's defense. Where is don lane when we really need him?
