ALL: SDTI- This is my first attempt at DD. Comments are welcome... go easy. dfund Would someone please check stockrumors.com? IMO: I'm a newbie but this looks like a good company with good positioning in the industry. They have had steady growth with a good product. This would be for a long term investment - not short or day trade. Rather large Float.
