Nancy, I have never naked short sold a stock or shorted REFR. I just posted the information about naked short selling in Canada to correct your incorrect post regarding the subject.

Nancy, the float is !8,440,000 not 11,000,000 which you posted. Most recent short interest reported as of 11/29/2013 is 1,782,000 not 2,000,000 which you posted.

Days to cover is only 4.6 which is not high so there most likely will not be a short squeeze coming anytime soon.

Percentage of float short a picayune 9.66%

You can easily get the correct information which I just posted on the internet. Here is a site so you can post accurate information.

Just plug in REFR and hit your enter key on your key board.

Hope this helps you

BTW Nancy, 19.65% of RFER is owned by insiders and 13.8% is owned by Institutions so the other 66.55% is owned by the investment community. How do you know that 66.55% is in strong hands as you stated? Did you take a poll?

The short squeeze in 1999 had only 500K in 2001 there were 12,100,000 shares, so nearly half the shares outstanding today. Further to ignore the fact that the end of 1999/beginning of 2000 was the apex of the mania, is a bit disingenuous. In the 2 months that it took REFR to triple in price, approximately 7.5M shares traded. That 500k short covering was absorbed pretty easily. In the 1 month that it took REFR 62% there was 3.1M shares traded. In that same time period, short interest went from 1.29M to 1.78M. So the short interest went up significantly into the high on Nov 21. This means that this recent rally was not a short squeeze. In fact, my bet is that the shorts jumped in on Nov 22nd when they saw the volume drying up and the price momentum coming to a stop. If you look at the numbers, the only conclusion that you can come to is that shorts have not only not caused any of the major advances in the stock, they also don't cause the weakness in the stock. Instead the shorts pretty much guarantee that there is a floor on the stock between 2.75 and 3.25. Any weakness you see in the stock price is because of weak hands. Most likely the investors that got options and warrants and the executives at REFR.
