Harris & Harris Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:TINY)

Silver will go up with inflation and HL is a great, politically secure silver miner.

TINY is a nanotech play, it has lots of amazing investments in technologies that no one sees coming but that will likely have a huge impact on our lives.

IPO market will have to rebound at some point. Only need a couple hits and valuation should double.

Check the triangle forming in august.

I've been looking for and watching techs with futuristic products/focus for long term (5-15 years) holding. Although TINY seems to be leaning a bit heavily toward the 'risk' side in their portfolio, I guess that is actually what I'm looking for - High Risk/High Reward (potential) - for this type of buy. I'll look for safety and security elsewhere.

Taking a small position today. Limit order is in.

Nanotechnology incubator

Nanotech incubator,,,,,like a small Safeguard Scientifics

Actually own this one, I'm essentially one lazy bastard when it comes to investing in nanotech. I let these guys make the picks for me. It's worked so far.

Cost basis is 4.55

I am not a fan of TINY having bought at 12 and sold at 10 (long ago). With so many shares, venture capital gains (which have been practically not existent) won't drive up the price as much as I once believe. However, with the stock at $4.60, I believe it can outperform the S&P as the economy improves which will allow more IPOs.

Is riding the nano-tech wave

It just seems that their portfolio of private, nanotechnology companies in which Harris & Harris is invested are far from strong commercialization and income generation that will provide a return to TINY. I think the stock price will continue to languish in the low single digits.

Nowhere to go but up.

This stock is currently way undervalued. The company continues to invest in many very exciting new technologies. Several home runs are just a few years away.

This has become a value play!

As of June 30th, the Net Asset Value per share of TINY was $5.43. Now, I understand that the market has fallen considerably since June 30th....but the bulk of TINY's business (some 75%) are privately-held businesses. There will be a certain hit to the NAV by the depreciation in stock price of Solazyme since its IPO's from TINY, but do the math. TINY owns 2.3 million shares of SZYM and on June 30th those shares were worth $23 resulting in a value of $53 million. Today, the price of SZYM has dropped $14, giving those shares a value of $32 million, a difference of $21 million, ouch. There are 31 million shares of TINY outstanding so the resulting hit to NAV would be $0.68. That leaves TINY with a current NAV by my prediction of $4.75. Historically, TINY has traded at a minimum of 1.1 times NAV which results in a price tag of $5.23. I'm long TINY.

The future is nanotechnology.

This VC firm is well positioned to grow in value over the next few years. Good buy to gain diversity in the nanotech sector, which will explode once the economy fully recovers. I like to buy solid stocks that are undervalued in times of economic uncertainty. All-Star Outperform ratio of 261 to 7 makes it a good bet.

I bet on this small cap investing in nanotechnology! The future is here!!!!

Why not?...

they have enough shots to hit it big.
