This may be of interest, this is from "What's New", a weekly announcement
of interesting (mostly political) physics news from the American Physical
Society:

   IS COLD FUSION PRACTICAL?  IT IS IF YOU OWNED STOCK IN NTT
   prior to the Third International Cold Fusion Conference in Nagoya
   on 21 Sept.  Two scientists from Nippon Telephone and Telegraph
   held a press conference to announce that they had detected excess
   heat and helium in a reproducible cold fusion experiment.  NTT
   stock rose 11% on the news. NTT is one of the biggest stock
   capitalization companies in the world. The paper profits after
   the cold fusion announcement were nearly $8 billion.

The phenomena might well be imaginary, but the profits evidently
aren't !
