Bill, I could see shorting this one alongside you.

I have never shorted a stock before but if this company moves up enough on this kind of fluff, who knows.

It is one thing when a Physicist claims such discoveries but I am struck by it being a medical doctor. Yea, right. Clearly this is his specialty.

There actually are some interesting testable aspects to what they say but I have to wonder how many of the things they claim to have done was ever verified by independent skeptics like myself. Maybe I should take a drive to Cranbury and after lunch at the Cranbury Inn check them out. Reminds me of the good old Utah cold fusion approach. When i visited a year later, nobody seemed to want to talk about it or discuss the individuals that had somehow fooled themselves and then many others.

Of course, I do think there are theoretical ways to get power from the weirdest places, including the vacuum. Not quite perpetual motion machines, though. The edges of physics remain a bit ragged.

Of course, I agree with you that REFR investors are at a much higher level with a working technology. Please stay synchronized with your fellow shorts who now admit it works and will be produced but now quibble that not many will be sold. There really is no comparison with GUMM or this latest story. If you were not already short, I suggest that at some point you should look at the realities, not the distant past and how you can warp it. Friday was a delicate hint of what can happen to shorts that pick the wrong stock and then push too far. I see high probabilities of a serious squeeze within weeks but I see almost certainty that real sales will justify even higher prices.

Of course, if these blacklightpower fellows are correct, they might accidentally start a chain reaction where all hydrogen in the universe will implode into this new state and life as we know it will be gone. That would make our discussion of what stocks are real and frauds moot.
