Raleigh N. C. Servotronics (NYSE Amex: SVT ), The Technology Stock Advisor’s top technology stock for 2010, announced record quarterly earnings for the period ending March 31, 2010.
Servotronics, Inc. reported a significant increase in net income to $622,000 (or $0.32 per share Basic - $0.29 per share Diluted) on a 4.6% increase in revenues to $7,884,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to net income of $125,000 (or $0.06 per share Basic and Diluted) on revenues of $7,538,000 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2009.

(Method of identifying a universe of stocks for inclusion into an investment portfolio. United States Patent 7,251,627, Vass, July 31, 2007).
“We developed a theory of technological innovation using Leontief's theory about input output economics that helps us predict technological investment opportunities,” Vass explained. “Our disciplined methodology has performed well throughout the current financial crisis, and while all investments are risky, we are well satisfied with our method’s investment performance.”
Vass noted that using the same method, the TSA stock pick of the AOL competition in 2009, Graham Corporation (GHM) came in 12th out of 75 money managers nation-wide.
