Nail on the head, Ron! This company sacrificed control to bring revenue to the bottom line---to US! We won't have to pay for manufacturing, market costs etc. We have paid a price for this because we've had to wait patiently while the roadblocks to commercialization were removed. We have had to endure every violent swing of the market as well as a barrage of shorting and straddling that has forced some good people out of their positions because they took a chance and bought on margin. Because of this we see a stock price that in no way reflects the reality of where we are. But the upside of this is almost mythical and I try to keep both feet planted firmly on the ground (although in San Francisco lately you would sink down 5 feet). Your figures are correct and for taking a risk now (and NO ONE here is denying that this is a HIGHLY SPECULATIVE RISK) you could have income that will take care of you the rest of your life. REFR is sharing the royalties WITH you. Their just financial reward for 30+ years of dedication and vision will be SHARED WITH YOU for being faithful. They have set up the company to prevent a takeover from taking that away from you. Even if they only realize a minuscule portion of the potential uses of this technology---you will see your investment quadruple. Those who have made profits trading this stock are welcome to those profits. No one can fault or question trading a stock. It's when people use false information to engender fear in the small investors in order to get them to sell stock or to prevent the stock from going out of a trading range that I believe the boundaries of ethics has been crossed---not that Wall Street is known for its ethics. And it is this stepping over the line that we have seen time and time again on discussion boards for this stock by the same individuals telling the same stories. ND
