On CAPS, 94.7% of the 803 members who have rated Harris & Harris believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include xnautis and All-Star TSIF, who is ranked in the top 1% of our community.

Late last month, xnautis tapped the tiny investor as a big long-term opportunity: "Their quarterly report just came out and it looks like a few of their companies may not get the capital they need this year. In the short-term, this stock may drop but I'm in for the long haul and think there is an excellent niche for nanotechnology that may not be tapped for another decade."

In an earlier pitch, TSIF also thinks dynamite returns come in super-small packages:

While funding is still tight, Harris and Harris has some nice plays in their stable. If any of them soar then Harris and Harris will gain in bounds. Harris and Harris, however, is savvy enough to keep enough cash on hand to help the better ones along and to be open to new positions. The risk here in my opinion is small, although there may be short term swings. The ability of the average investor to "get into" a company while it is still a tiny is small. Harris and Harris gives you that opportunity.
