If REFR goes under Five dollars this is another problem for REFERMADNESS.

wiki.answers.com

Why is 5-dollar level so important in stock investing?

Answer:

Perceived Risk - There are almost no companies that have gone public at a price below 5-dollar level. Thus, for a company that trades under $5 there is a big chance that some serious operational or financial problems have accrued in the past or recently, and there is plenty of statistics suggesting that $5 stocks frequently go to zero.

Margin - Margin is a line of credit given to an investor so that they may make investments in amounts larger than their current funds would allow. This allows investors the ability to leverage their current holdings and make larger investments hoping that the return will be larger than the interest for the loan

. These investors are taking on a larger amount of risk and so are the firms that loan the funds to the investor. Because of this most firms deem stocks under 5 dollars to be unmarginable. This means that they will not extend a line of credit on investments that are trading at less than 5 dollars. They do not feel that a stock trading under 5 dollars is good collateral. Some set the mark higher or lower but 5 dollars is the most common. They do this because of the higher risk associated with lower priced stocks. Brokerages worry that they may not be repayed if substantial losses are realized in a short period of time. These facts make unmarginable stocks or stocks trading under the 5 dollar mark less attractive to the investment public including institutional investors and hedge funds.

Penny Stock Notoriety - A "penny stock," according to SEC interpretation, is an equity trading for less than $5 a share that is not traded on the listed markets of the NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ. This perception of riskiness in sub-$5 dollar stocks outside the major exchanges has definitely influenced the perception off all sub-$5 stocks, even those highly liquid and more transparent exchange traded stocks.
Note: Many consider penny stocks to be stocks that trade for less than a dollar which are listed in cents (pennies) as in .87 cents or pennies.

Institutional Investors - Many mutual funds' charters directly prohibit their managers from investing or holding penny stocks (those traded on the OTCBB and pink sheets) and generally stocks under $5 dollars. However, mutual funds are not obligated by any regulations to have such clauses and there are mutual funds that specialize in penny stocks. Government Influence - To the extent that municipal, state, or federal pension funds' charters might prohibit their managers from investing in stocks (or holding stocks) below 5 dollar level, we can talk about government involvement in discouraging investments in stocks trading below $5. Retail Constraints - Many brokerage houses and investment professionals strongly discourage trading in speculative stocks. Often their customers must sign extra paperwork acknowledging that they are aware of the risks of trading such stocks.

Keeping an eye on REFR price . If it happens to slip below 6 , I will pick up more . Revenues will increase going forward with the Mercedes S class and Hondajet using SPD on a recurring basis .

[snowcrab75]

Mercedes loves SPD so much that they actually reinvented the roof of their flagship S-class by really making it so much larger . They want to show off this technology big time because they know it will sell more cars . They have been selling other models with a smaller SPD roof for about 3 years now and they know that the take rates were very good . They are so proud of this technology that they now want to display it very prominently with this big panoramic roof . This is a real game changer for luxury cars that will eventually change the design of many other autos in the future .

Correction of last post..."Announced 5 for 1 reverse split"....should be... Announced 5 for 1 FORWARD split. sorry

[drjohn12]

oh wellll...It spikes and collapses. like sex, a healthy drive followed by a weak stamina to keep it up. I hear married couples have similar patterns. lol
In my opinion..I think another similar spank and droop soon. Comes and goes. Soon it's gonna stick and really get exciting!

[Rancon]

How do you feel about todays close? Management hasn't changed in all these years.

[Lottalead]

That was a nice close on awesome news. This news, years ago, would have doubled the price in a day. Finally, after all these years...

[drjohn12]

Interesting 8-K released yesterday after hours. Any of you guys that have been following the company have an opinion about the case.

On July 12, 2013, Research Frontiers Inc. (Nasdaq: REFR), the developer and licensor of SPD-Smart light-control technology filed a lawsuit against E Ink Corporation; E Ink Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Prime View International Co., Ltd.); Amazon.com, Inc.; Sony Electronics Inc.; Sony Corporation; Barnes & Noble, Inc.; and Barnesandnoble.com LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for patent infringement. Research Frontiers seeks an injunction in addition to monetary damages and pre-judgment interest and other relief.

In this lawsuit, Research Frontiers asserts infringement by the named defendants of United States Patent No. 6,606,185, entitled “SPD Films and Light Valves Comprising Liquid Suspensions of Heat-Reflective Particles of Mixed Metal Oxides and Methods of Making Such Particles,” and United States Patent No. 5,463,491, entitled “Light Valve Employing a Film Comprising an Encapsulated Liquid Suspension, and Method of Making Such Film.”

Anticipation of their technology being used in the Mercedes S class and many potential press releases leading up to the Mercedes May 15th press release. In my opinion.

[dussfan]

What is up today, higher volume and we went as high as 4.42 so far. Nice.

[Cjuried]

The, potential, Mercedes S class catalyst, on May 15th is exciting. Furthermore, these other press releases are impressive:

•Vision Systems Debuts Its New SPD-Smart Electronically Dimmable Aerospace Window With Integrated Electronics and Controls Directly on the Window at the 2013 Hamburg Air ShowGlobeNewswire(Mon, Apr 8)

•Aerospace Technologies Group Launches Panacea Shade System Using SPD-Smart TechnologyGlobeNewswire(Thu, Apr 4)

[Cjuried]

It appears that many are interested in the, potential for a May 15th announcement/press release (discussed on the conference call), with regards to REFR technology and the Mercedes "S" class vehicles. That would be huge for REFR!

There are various, smaller, press releases coming out, as well, which is helping build confidence and revenue for REFR. All my opinion, but it seems like the company has a viable future and I love the fact that REFR has a small outstanding share and float figures. We will see.

[Nebula1]

It's really come off that $3 mark nicely. And while I'm still concerned about profitability, the technology is amazing and spreading.

Frankly, I'll be surprised if some version of the technology isn't standard in the future (as it becomes more cost effective).

GL

[dussfan]

Looks like volume is picking up today. Like us to inch our way over 4.50 this week and then things could get interesting.

[Nebula1]

It's not a penny, but I'm long here as well. The technology is fantastic and there aren't many players in the space.

[Cjuried]

I got in as well. Looking for the May 15th catalyst along with various pre May 15th catalysts. Wtaching closely.

[dussfan]

Not much interest here. Just got in at 3.95 Don't know much about the technology but looks interesting. Got in because I was on tim sykes webinar a couple of days ago and he likes it for a long. Well for a month at least. Should be interesting.

[Nebula1]

Indeed..

[chris8sirhc]

WOW, what an awesome move today!

[Nebula1]

I'll wait for the trend to break, otherwise low $3s. I believe it's a little rich right now, but obviously like it long-term.
