A few months ago, one of those Fools, QuarkHadron, tapped the stock as a particularly attractive pick for less risk-averse Fools:
I've been looking for and watching techs with futuristic products/focus for long term (5-15 years) holding. Although [Harris & Harris] 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). ... I'll look for safety and security elsewhere.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a perfect five-star rating, Harris & Harris may not be your top choice.
