Dale--This is a most interesting find.
<<-Despite a long list of herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, household cleaning solutions and cancer drugs>>
I can see the link between most of these compounds but adding in cancer drugs? The fact that they don't have revenues makes them very interesting indeed.
All the Best

The REFR stock fraud

On September 10, 1998 the Wall Street Journal did a small write-up on Research Frontiers. The article referred to CEO Robert Saxe as a "Harvard-educated physicist". A recent Newsday article also had a similar comment.

I conducted a degree check on Mr. Saxe and could find no record of his having attended Harvard (either as an undergraduate or graduate). I checked several sources including the Harvard registrar.

Perhaps I missed something? Has anyone else checked and if so, could I please get a contact that will independently verify Mr. Saxe's degrees?

Bill, would you mind explaining that comment to me? I don't know what you meant by that...

Thankx,

I can report that I was able to borrow SAFS at Discover to start a small position. Getting an uptick was the problem.
