I advised you to cover over a decade ago. Shorting REFR is not a good long term investment. The margin rate is much higher and to sustain it all these years has been costly. A decade ago, REFR was $9.96, today it closed at $5.83. A decade ago, it was easy to get a borrow on REFR. Even the retail investor, such as myself, was not charged. Being long has cost the REFR speculator much long term. Being short, depending on timing, has been profitable. Not only profitable, but fun!
