REFR bulls have rallied behind a CNET News.com article by editor at-large Michael Kanellos. The article heavily quotes John Petraglia, CEO of SPD Control Systems, noted previously as yet another in a line of cookie-cutter REFR licensees which come out of nowhere, make a little noise to get a few people excited, then vanish to leave nothing but their name on REFR's burgeoning list of licensees. In a shocking development, Petraglia spoke optimistically of the technology his company is licensed to sell.
Besides the amusingly obscure mention of Leminur, which apparently does exist after all, only now under a different name, and no particular favoritism to SPD or REFR, the highlight of the article appears to be the very beginning of the article, wherein Kanellos writes: "Smart Glass, which will be shown off and discussed more fully in about eight weeks...".
Bulls in REFR have gone nuts trying to parse exactly what that refers to. So far the consensus on the message boards appears to be that the article foreshadows a major development of some kind within the next month. (Hey, eight weeks, one month, who's counting?) Critics responded by yawning and hitting the snooze button, knowing full well that asking any of the bulls for any sort of clarification on what they mean is a waste of time.
Meanwhile, with only nine months or so before the cash runs out, the heat is decidedly on for REFR to find some source of cash infusion to keep the lights on. Given the usual regulatory hurdles that need to be cleared, things need to start happening pretty soon if they're going to make it. So next month way well be interesting to watch. Unless, of course, it isn't.
