This will happen only if institutions are not climbing over one another at the time of any "sell" to buy UTEK shares plus Brinker will not necessarily have to be an "all" or "nothing" sell either. He might do it in increments.

It has become apparent to me in the past few weeks that to get any kind of substantial upside movement out of UTEK, there will have to be an institution buying the stock. Individual investors will not lead a short squeeze or even a hug. The money flow from the slow and steady little guy cannot push UTEK up. The institutions can find equal or more compelling values in this sector in the larger caps. An earnings surprise might do the trick to draw an insitutution to UTEK.

This might not happen if at the time of Bob's sell signal UTEK is on the way up, approaching some value, X, and the signal is of the form "sell at or above X". This signal might just slow rise of UTEK--not cause it to take a dive. With that type of signal some will liquidate a bit below X, others will hold out for a higher price above X. I don't expect an all-out sell signal.
