Green Science Partners owns PANL and Schalkwijk and his clients own VECO.
But it does accuse Stevens and his staff of receiving requests from Veco for help in Washington and acting on some of them.
Veeco Instruments, Inc. (VECO) is one of my favorite stocks held by industrials ETFs and mutual funds and earns my very attractive rating.
Veco was acquired by another company, CH2M Hill, in September 2007.
In exchange, Stevens "could and did use his official position and his office on behalf of Veco, " one of the state's largest employers, the indictment charges.
She said, if you look at the defendant's financial disclosure forms, it's as if VECO was never there, and that's exactly what the defendant wanted to project.
Allen, a former welder and oilfield superintendent who came to Alaska from Texas and built a billion-dollar oilfield-services company, Veco Corporation, liked to be around other powerful men.
We believe LED capital investments will return to solid growth in late 2013-2014, as general lighting applications grow, and VECO should remain a leading supplier of LED process equipment.

Federal investigators have charged Stevens with failing to disclose how much help he received in enlarging his home from VECO, a local oil services company, and its chief executive, Bill Allen.
Allen had been the CEO of the Alaska oilfield services company VECO, and federal prosecutors accused him of leading a scheme to bribe top lawmakers in exchange for favorable state action.
In turn, Allen and other VECO officials called on Stevens for "multiple official actions ... knowing that Stevens could and did use his official position and his office on behalf of VECO during that same time period, " according to the indictment.
Filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, the indictment does detail some actions that Stevens allegedly took on VECO's behalf, including requesting federal grants from several agencies and funding and other aid for the oil services company's projects and partnerships in Pakistan and Russia.
This gain was on normal trading volume and completely consistent with the bullish move in other solar-related stocks today such as such as GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT), First Solar (FSLR), MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR), SunPower Corp. (SPWR) and Veeco Instruments (VECO).
