Good to see you back on the thread. I always wondered if you maintained your long position in UTEK or whether you had moved on to greener pastures. I must say, speaking for many of us on the thread, it sure would have been nice to have you around here sharing your valuable insights with us during the rough times over the last 4 1/2 months. We sure could have used your unbridled enthusiasm for UTEK as evidenced by your most recent posts over the past few days. No need to be a fair weather friend next time. Feel free to stop by anytime.

You are right in suggesting that the time to be short looks to have passed. However, let's not ream the shorts too much. After all, during one time period it was the right call as a trader at least to have gone short UTEK. The tape tells no lies. Livermore and Brinker would no doubt agree.

I have been reminded over the past few months that while it may be fun to take on the shorts, one should not let the fun get in the way to at least trying to listen to their case. They may have a point from time to time.
