"Speculation" is that MS7 (demo of an optical thyristor)will be followed shortly by a military contractor agreement. Right now the market is in " show me mode".

If in fact POET does announce an agreement with a military contractor, then that will be an indisputable endorsement of the POET side of things and the SP will react very nicely.

IMO, the major FUN begins when we see a JV/PDA after MS8 is announced. PET side.

MS6 and 8 were installed after consultation with interested parties. MS6 is done. Interested parties want to make sure that the 1 um CHFET(PET), can be scaled to sub-100nm in size. When that happens, a JV/PDA is announced and you can bet on a multiple dollar SP. IMO.

Now once MS10 is completed by a 3rd party, electronic and optical components on a single die you can multiply the SP by a factor of 5 to 10X. Mostly likely the majority of us will be gone with very nice profits, (except Robv, LOL) and POET will now be on the NASDAQ with a huge following.

I will definitely keep some of my POET shares when this NEW POET company reaches the NAS, but I will mostly be watching from my Caribbean home.

Of course, this is all speculation based on my belief in the technology and the events to unfold. IF it does not, I will be renting my mother's basement apartment and using my POET share certificates as azz wipe. End of 2013 will be when we get a clearer picture of where this company is heading.
