Gary, "most of them appear to be pre-paid royalties" Is this a tacit admission that at least some of the royalties are the result of sales? I noticed you said most instead of all "I find it incredible that you should cross examine me. Not incredible Gary....warranted. Your posts aren't very clear sometimes. You seem to be suggesting that REFR is deriving no income whatsoever from their SPD technology when in reality the company is clearly claiming receipt of royalty fees. If this isn't the case then not only is REFR lying about royalties, but one must conclude that there is a conspiracy among their licensees to falsely report sales of spd technology. Who knows, even companies like Spartan Industries (SPAR - NASD) might be in on it since they have just announced the inclusion of spd technology in their Road Rescue ambulances. Perhaps SPAR is a good shorting opportunity. You ever think of that? Gary, it's becoming obvious that you have a marked reluctance to admit that REFR is deriving any royalties from sales of real products. If I were the kind of person that leaped to conclusions I might suggest you have ulterior motives, other than altruism, for posting here. "...Ed and you should be well aware of that from your days working with Lisa" I presume you're referring to Lisa Conte of Shaman. I never worked for Shaman nor Conte. I was a stockholder in Shaman for a while and did eventually conclude that Conte was a con artist. My sole claim to fame in the Shaman saga occurred in January, 2000 when I vied with a stock guru by the name of Tom Huzzela (moniker: Tomscheboy) who began an audacious pump and dump of Shaman's stock. He and his gang began a campaign that ran the price of the stock from 1 cent per share up to 10 cents per share in a three week period despite the fact that Shaman was facing an imminent 1:50 reverse split AND huge dilution of their stock caused by the massive conversion of preferred 'R' shares to common stock in a shareholder rights offering. Huzzela would never gave me a straight answer either. The price of Shaman's stock collapsed back to a penny/share the first week of February, 2000 (the conversion date); exactly as I had predicted. You're more than welcome to read through my posts on the Raging Bull SHMN board. ragingbull.lycos.com Given that I was completely outnumbered I thought I did a pretty well.
