The stock price is what makes people complain. If anyone outside of us had heard of or understood what SPD was and how REFR owns it, then you'd see volume and the stock could not be manipulated. Why do they post here? Why is REFR on the "hard to borrow list" and yet the short interest is consistently over 1/2 a million and fluctuates over 300K. How can that happen if the stock cannot be sold short?

Here is another source of short selling. It verifies what I believe is a manipulation of the stock price. And I don't necessarily believe that profits will turn the stock price. It languishes because there is no retail interest like there was when there were several brokers who bought large positions for their clients. That is all gone. Those positions are being held or have already been liquidated. There is no large accumulations taking place EXCEPT for the short position.

Doesn't really matter what you or I think does it? I'm buying as much as I can here and lower. I know how the story ends. Not when but how. Smart glass is the future of glass and SPD is the future of smart glass.

The bi-monthly short interest hardly varies.

Really??? You don't believe that all the short shares are naked shorts do you? They trade both long and short and on some days are almost all the volume.
