Research Frontiers, Inc. (REFR)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company's business is to develop and license its suspended particle technology for controlling the amount of light passing through a device. Such suspended particle devices are referred to as 'SPDs,' 'light valves,' or 'SPD-Smart ' products.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

HUGE market - autos, planes, boats, buildings.

No real competition in the nascent variable tint market. Cars with largely glass roofs (but controllable heat buildup) are the wave of the future.

Refr has been around for 43 years or so. It has been touting its SPD as the 'wave of the future'. It has something like 30 licencees, yet has failed to produce any real income with its 'one-of-a-kind' particle suspension glass. How it has remained as a viable equity is its only real accomplishment. ...More

Refr has been around for 43 years or so. It has been touting its SPD as the 'wave of the future'. It has something like 30 licencees, yet has failed to produce any real income with its 'one-of-a-kind' particle suspension glass. How it has remained as a viable equity is its only real accomplishment. The fact that it has not been delisted from the NASDAQ or at least sent to the pink sheets is truly amazing. How investors continue to buy this sham of a stock is not only incredible, but also pathetic.


Other than the reasons mentioned above, I think it is a great buy...Not! lol


I wish I had shorted this stock years ago- but I suppose its not too late. I mean it will probably be around for another 40+ years. My goodness. How Refr has managed to survive all these years is truly a miracle of the ages.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
