I'd say these are the reasons why I invested in POET.
The strategy (and I include the product here) is very forward-oriented, to say the least. As far as we know the product is unique and badly needed, which make very good ingredients for a decent strategy.
The company definitely operates besides the current quarter. Some people here have high expectations regarding the current quarter. I have them, too, but I wouldn't base my investment decision solely on this quarter's outcome.
Well, I haven't met the entire management team yet, so this is the weak point of my investment. However, a guy who has worked on this stuff for decades and a team that has accomplished several of those milestones gives me good confidence.
