The pop from REFR was because of Tim Sykes and 2000 day traders. Sykes also dumped his long term holdings from his non day trading account.

Here is how you discribed Tim Sykes when he was short REFR. Allot of those tweets on REFR where also because of Sykes.

I like Tim. He did a expose on stock promoter Dodi Handi. He used mostly links to my posts on SI. In fact most all of his expose where from my research. The SEC seems to like Dodi Handy and contimues to look the other way. timothysykes.com

This may be of interest to REFR shareholders. The day after REFR went up 20%+ Mr. Sykes congratulated his "students" on their success, even though he himself had already sold. You can see the celebration here and his taking credit for finding this stock. In fact there's even a video demonstration on his web site showing how he picked it and his predictions. You will notice that as you read down the comments, he does not seem to want to take about shorting REFR. After saying "Best Alert I Gave Today" Is telling 2000 people to short a stock that usually trades under 100K per day responsible especially if the timing shows there was no technical sell signal that any day trader would have followed. In fact the stock closed after hours on that day at $7.00

So it was odd to see this on Twitter the very next day:

Then the following day after a REFR shareholder tried to let him know his name was being used to tell REFR shareholders that they (short sellers) were going to take their stock down. You'll see topics like TIMBERRRRRR! on the Yahoo REFR site during those days and on StockTwits a Rancon123 stating that this week the shorts PLANNED to take the stock down with a strategic game.

Not having known anything about Mr. Sykes, prior to this and after defending him on Yahoo, after it was first purported he was shorting our stock and we better be nervous, I said I had gone to his web site and he was actually bullish on REFR, of course his analysis was weak and showed he hadn't really done any due diligence other than looking at a message board and the posts of 1 poster. He said the Q3 conference call was "bleh" clearly showing he does not understand this business model. But when I saw this, I said I'll bet this guy has done something like this before. So here are the tweets on REFR the day after he is confronted.

Let me first say, I had never heard of this person except the invoking of his name by an organized group of short sellers. I thought no one who saw the chart on REFR would ever make a short call, 2000+ novices to short a stock all at once? When doing something like that might jeopardize his very enterprise? and then I saw something on his web site about response to Shaquille O'Neal's letter and I thought WHAT? Who is this guy? Then I found this. Draw your own conclusions. Do you think there is an organized shorting of REFR occurring to enrich the pockets of a few. I have been saying that for years. Of course this could all be coincidence, which I stated on Yahoo, but the tweets the following day, I do not think were a coincidence.
