The Hype behind REFR: If you want a very good chance at being rich check out REFR. I know the symbol does not inspire confidence but REFR has over 100 patents and patents pending on SPD film which enables a person to manually darken or lighten home or office windows (SPD film has many other application such as eyewear,rear-view mirrors, and in the future superior FPDs). There is about 20 billion square feet produced every year and 1 trillion square feet of window in existence and never in the history of the world has there been a feasible window that enables the user to vary the tint from clear to dark. If REFR can capture 5% of current home window market and receive $1 in royalties per foot that means REFR should generate 1 billion dollars in revenue. Since there are only about 10 million shares that will give each share near $100 in earnings. Give it a PE of say 25 and you have a stock price of about $2,500 dollars. It's current price is $7 so $2,500 divided by $7 is a 357x's price increase. They will reach that price as soon as SPD windows can capture 5% of the market (maybe four years)and that does not include retro-fitting any of the existing 1 trillion feet (which could be as big or bigger). Before you say I'm a flake the company's president Robert Saxe uncle invented color film, his dad was a NY State Supreme Court Justice and his first cousins are George and Ira Gershwin. He has been working on SPD for 32 years. Before that Edwin Land who invented the Poloroid camera was working on it. Poloroid stock had an unbelievable price appreciation in its day. SPD windows going to hit the market within months. By all means check their web page out and due all the research you want before investing a single penny. It is for real and perhaps the greatest ground floor opportunity you may see in the rest of your life. REFR symbol for Research Frontiers on the NASDAQ check out their web page. P.S. REFR was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal and SPD windows may capture more than 5% of the window market because wouldn't you want them instead of using pre-historic venetian blinds? If you buy this stock and it realizes its potential then Merry Christmas.

REFR Income sources paint a very sad picture. <<The Company's fee income from licensing activities for the first six months of 1998 and 1997 was $50,000. During the first six months of 1998, the Company also received $135,000 of key man life insurance proceeds payable on the death of its former Executive Vice President, Robert I. Thompson. This resulted in the Company recording non- recurring other income of $91,379 during the first six months of 1998 representing the difference between the amount received by the Company and the cash surrender value of such life insurance policy that was previously recorded on the Company's balance sheet. >>
