Dixon: Name a single product that REFR has received a royalty on during its nearly 40 years of conning investors. I knew you couldn't. "SPD light control technology is now in several industries in high volume products. REFR gets 5-15% royalties from the net sale price of all products."

Hi Nancy, I agree with your pros and cons. Why do you think there is so much animosity voiced on the REFR boards anyway? A lot of it is likely just people trying to talk their positions up in value. But I think some people (maybe even Gary?) sincerely believe that the company is a scam and that they are performing a public service by convincing people not to invest, just as you sincerely believe that REFR is "a sure thing" and that you are performing a public service by convincing people to invest. In my opinion the company has done a poor job of managing expectations on occasion, and the problem is only exacerbated when people with loose ties to the company set investor expectations unrealistically high (your yahoo post #1834 might be a good example of this sort of thing). So perhaps you are not entirely without blame for the fact that the REFR message boards have deteriorated into a virtual cesspool of disinformation ? Just a thought. Best Regards, Area51
