One of the potential downsides to such an approach over a long period of time is that one loses the significant benefit of compounding, and essentially ignores the time value of money - interrelated concepts under appreciated by many investors. REFR is returning profits to shareholders in the form of dividends. If one can afford to buy 10s of thousands of shares on the day they reach profitability they will be paying much more than my family has spent to accumulate at high and extremely low prices. Stock has been under 2 for more than a year. If you are a trader, then you can play the day swings. My family and friends want to own a substantial piece of the business, just like those who paid a million for shares under $1. Those are the long term investors who are in for decades to come. The stock will have split several times (30M is not that big of a float) and our ownership will grow exponentially. Of course, we know the future of smart glass in automotive, trains, buses, aircrafts and architecture, we are happy with our purchases. As for others...Carpe Diem ND
