Thinking they might be a stock promotion firm?

Regardless, earnings still a week from Tuesday so no rush to get short. I would love a crack at this over $5.

Yes, I think a stock promo company is a possibility. There has not really been anew news. Lot of rumor on SI, but who reads it? The recent high volume is the tell.

I agree, let this run north of 5 before shorting. Trend is your friend. I expect same old same old on the Loss Report.

Wellll.... gonna kick myself if that was the top, but it's kinda random for it to die on the same no-news it ran up on, more than a week before quarterly. Still, I never plan to make a year off of a single trade, so in the greater scheme it's just one more ticker, just one I'm very familiar with.

We'll see where we are in a week or so.

No surprises, reduced operating losses came entirely from reduced operating expenses, which was the result of using stock options as currency. Disappointing that the market had to fall over the two weeks going into the report so that the shorting opportunity was not so good, but what are you gonna do.

Same time next quarter then?

So this got tweet into my anonymous stock-oriented Twitter feed. Someone did finally notice REFR after all!

This 33-year chart of REFR teaches a valuable lesson—the fact that a company has little or no chance of scaling up its technology does not mean a quick trip to zero.
I am amazed at how many zombies I see still standing. PRKR stands out. One of the apparent inefficiencies of capitalism is when the stock market is up (“excessive exuberance”) any half-assed idea will get funded. When I sit in on early stage funding requests now, i feel a sense of, “I’ve seen this before” from the Dot-Com boom 20 years ago, when anyone that could “fog up a mirror” got funded. What a waste of resources. What does work about capitalism is the pendulum always swings back to correct inefficient uses of capital.

Mmm, nice tasty run-up into earnings week.

Got to say I like my chances of finding sellers on Friday.

Took the L on the trade. Thesis was that the new buyers would actually expect something from the quarter but I guess as long as people are willing to support the stock I guess they don't care.

Check in again in November I guess.
