The viability of the company is what caused the short interest. A —> B —> C. "The short interest is what made it a single digit stock today." Time-travel machines share this common trait, too: "The technology is worth 100s of millions of dollars per year in revenues with 96 million of every hundred going to earnings."

Well let's just see if the numbers back that up. The short interest is what made it a single digit stock today. In December 2000, the short interest in REFR was just over 500,000, and the price of REFR stock was around $18. By July 2001, the short interest had ballooned to 1.7 million, and the share price had meanwhile increased to around $27. In the eighteen months since then the short interest has increased by a relatively slim 200,000, yet REFR's price has collapsed to $7. Kinda looks like the less shorting activity in REFR, the WORSE it is for shareholders, eh Nance?
